Great games for your early readers to learn sight words and phonemic awareness!
This is a great game for phonemic awareness because it isolates sounds and requires the kid to build words. My seven year old still requires a little assistance from me to spell the words correctly, but it’s a good way to practice sounds in isolation...
Spelligator: Phonemic Awareness & Spelling Game for Ages 5-9
This is a fun way to gamify sight word practice. With ways to play for 1 to 4 players, this is a much more entertaining way to do sight word practice.

A great alternative to flash cards! There are different difficulty levels of cards as well so it can grow and change with your learning reader.

I’ll try anything besides sight word flash cards and this is yet another game where you can practice sight words but make it fun! Pair it with some real nachos and play it over lunch to make it feel special and extra fun!

This game is so fun that even my confident readers love to play it! I’m a big fan of anything by Mrs. Wordsmith!

This is a fun way to nail down those tricky long vowel pronunciations and spellings.

A great game to introduce and emphasize short vowels!
Short Vowels Dominoes
This is a great game to work on initial sounds and letter recognition! I use this as a review game to reinforce the Orton Gillingham method I use with my early reader and elementary aged dyslexic kiddo.
