Every turn includes real decoding practice, repeated reading, and meaningful review of r-controlled words.

How to Play (Quick Overview)
Players take turns drawing a card without looking, reading the word aloud, and placing it on an open space with the matching spelling pattern. The goal is to connect four words in a row (across, down, or diagonally). If a player draws a word that cannot be placed because the spaces are filled, they lose their turn and return the card to the bottom of their deck.

- Phonics centers & literacy stations

- Tutoring and structured literacy / OG-style lessons
- Partner practice & early finishers
