The purpose of this game is to build automatic recognition of whole words. If the child has trouble recognizing a word, say the word - do not ask the child to “sound out” the word.
If they do not match, the cards are replaced face down and the next player takes a turn. If the two cards match, the player keeps them and takes a second turn. Take turns turning up two cards at a time and reading the words aloud. Shuffle the cards and place them face down in neat rows.
