Remedial games for reading


















Reading Fluency Flash cards are a great supplement to any reading program. Now Available! Visit the Download Central Page! Fluency Builders do just that As children read through the text, the sentences 'build' upon themselves as one additional word is added to each line.

This format naturally enhances fluency and because our passages are organized by vowel sound they provide great decoding practice as well.

Struggling and new readers benefit from the built in fluency support that this fluency builders provide. Fluency Builders work with any reading program. Great for small group, centers, partner reading, and homework practice. Parents and volunteers find them easy to use too!

These entertaining games systematically teach the spelling patterns code variation for each long vowel sound. Five separate games are included, one for each long vowel sound! Simply print and cut out the cards. Students take turns picking a card and reading the word. If a student reads the word correctly, they get to keep the card. When students pull out a "spoiler" card, they must put all of their cards back.

The student with the most cards at the end is the winner. Fun and easy for kids to play. Katie and I use them daily for small groups, center activities and easy homework practice. Great for struggling or dyslexic readers. It is a reading activity to teach advanced code and code variation. For this activity, you will need a copy of the mapping template and a word list for the specific sound you are working on.

Use the documents below for a detailed explanation on "Mapping Advanced Code". Word lists for all of the vowel sound combinations can be used for the "Mapping" activity above. These lists are also great to send home for additional reading practice! Here is a great reading activity using the Advanced Code Word Lists. We often use the term "Sound Pictures" often to refer to letters because technically, letters are "pictures" for sounds and the term "sound pictures" cues kids into the nature of what letters do, they stand for sounds.

The power of using controlled word lists that are organized by sound to improve reading decoding is undeniable. I'll demonstrate with two quick videos This is my second grade friend Aaliyah working on words that contain the Long E sound. Watch her first attempt at these words and then read on Video 2: After Highlighting the Advanced Code. You can see in Video 1, Aaliyah truly struggles to read accurately. Her word attack strategies were poor, she often guessed and I certainly did not prompt her to read the words from left to right.

I gave her no corrective feedback at all. Now watch what happens no more than 5 minutes later after I highlight the advanced code and all the code variation spelling patterns for the Long E sound. Big difference huh? By using simple reading activities like this with a controlled word list her accuracy goes up, her word attack skills improve and her confidence is higher! That is what we like to see. The advanced written code causes more reading problems than you can possibly imagine.

By planning reading activities to teach it explicitly and systematically you can truly can see remarkable reading gains in a short amount of time. It also helps to have such a hard worker like Aaliyah.

We heart her! Students can locate the "pictures" by highlighting or by placing actual Scrabble game pieces over the "pictures" for various vowel sound combinations. Then, they must add those numbers together to get a total for each word. A great reading activity to integrate reading with math! Sound Books follow the same format as the mapping activity above only each sound picture is written on its own page.

Books can be laminated and bound so that students can practice reading the words independently. A useful reading activity for centers and independent reading time! Using the above templates, cut and glue each card on a poster.

Have students in your classroom write words that contain that sound on small Post-Its. Reading intervention is my passion. There is nothing more exciting than seeing a struggling reader learn how to read.

After countless reading intervention activities, programs, small group lessons, and data tracking— seeing it all pay off. When the light bulb clicks and you see their faces light up with confidence. We want ALL of our students to succeed. We find joy when our high kiddos succeed. But we spend sleepless nights worrying about those students who are falling behind. It can be so hard knowing what our students need and how to help them. Below are some specific reading intervention activities that I have found helpful in reaching my lowest sweet readers.

This is a great reading intervention guide to show you how to help struggling readers. It has student characteristics, tips, and activities specific to each area of reading. Seriously a life saver! I also have a Reading Intervention Assessment that will help identify exactly which skills each of your students need intervention in, that you can check out too.

Students usually learn in one of 4 ways: Auditory, Tactile, Kinesthetic, or Visual. All of these reading intervention activities can be just out of the ordinary enough to engage any student.

However, you can find surveys online to give students like this one or this one to help figure out what kind of learner they are. These reading intervention activities are great for those students that like to use their hands and feel as they learn. They are especially great for younger readers, but they can still work for all ages. Hands-on reading intervention activities you can use for tactile learners. Use magnetic letter tiles for a fun reading intervention activity.

This is one of my go-to reading intervention activities. Use letter tiles like these to make words. You can also use magnetic letters like these and place them on mini cookie sheets I found mine at Walmart.

Make a CVC word together, and then discover other words in the same word family by swapping out the first letter.

Then try swapping out the last letter and the vowel. Compare how the words sound as you change one letter. Check out these Reading intervention binders that have touch activities to practice skills. Give students something to touch while sounding out words or reading sentences. This can be a dot, blank square, line, etc. As they first begin to read, one-to-one correspondence with each letter as they sound out words, and each word as they read sentences, is so important.

Use play-dough as a fun, hands-on reading intervention activity. I wrote a whole blog post that you can read HERE about this. Play-dough is such a fun way for students to learn hands-on! This is definitely a student favorite reading intervention activity. Use arm slides as a reading intervention activity for blending sounds. This is one of my favorite, simple reading intervention activities. I use it at the beginning of the year when we are working on blending words together.

Start with your left arm held out in front of you, like a slide. Then use your right hand to pat down your shoulder as you say each sound. When you say all the sounds, go back up to your shoulder and slide your hand down the slide as you say the whole world. Sensory association can be a great reading intervention activity to learn spelling and sight words.

These reading intervention activities work well for students who like to see and get a good visual picture of what they are learning. Reading intervention activities to use with your struggling students who are visual learners. Color coding reading intervention activities work great for specific phonics patterns.

Assign a color to different parts of the word. You could use blue for consonants and red for vowels, pink for a phonics pattern and purple for the rest of the word, green for the base word and yellow for the ending, etc.

I like to have the part we are focusing on be in a color that stands out more. Use white boards with dry erase markers for extra engagement! Mark-up patterns and syllables in words. Videos and games are super engaging reading intervention activities. They often provide great visuals, PLUS catchy tunes and repeated audio cues which are also great for auditory learners!

There are so many great resources out there. Some of my favorite FREE sites are:. When working on fluency in your reading interventions, use fun pointer sticks. A big page full of words can be overwhelming for our struggling readers. It helps to narrow their focus to just one letter or word at a time. An easy way to do this is to use a finger pointer or pointing stick. Have students track along the word or page as they sound words out and read sentences.

I keep these fun reading pointers in my basket of reading intervention activities at my guided reading table. The Dollar Store has little drink stirring sticks, fun rings, fairy wands, or even witch fingers depending on the season. Sometimes you can get lucky with the Target Dollar Spot too.

For remedial readers who are more advanced, display the words. Ask the students to match the pictures, or have duplicate words for them to match. Later, they can read their list back to the teacher. Note that the students have listened to, viewed, written this act is akin to feeling and spoken the words they are learning.

As students advance in remedial reading, they will enjoy the building game where they will learn to build compound words, as well as sentences. Under the Building Game banner, place the beginnings of compound words. Have the students read the words on the board. For sentences, post one sentence on the board. Have students use the words they know to finish the sentence.

Allow them to be silly, as long as the sentence is grammatically correct.
