Players accumulate cards by saying the sight words on the cards they turn over. But watch out! The Word Thief could steal the words they've earned! The six Word Thief games are leveled (PrePrimer to third) and can be played by level or mixed to create a customized game to target words that students need to master.

Includes six decks of cards, one each for the preprimer, primer, first, second, third, and phrases levels.

The Centre for Literacy provides intense remedial support for students who are struggling readers. We use well researched interventions to help students enhance their ability to read and write. A child who is enthusiastic and engaged will learn more. The Word Nerd Card Games have been enthusiastically received by both our staff and the students. The kids simply love to play the games! Teachers love that the cards reinforce critical literacy skills and build automatic recall. It is evident that the creators of the Word Nerd games have intimate familiarity with where kids may struggle with reading; the content and design of the card games are excellent complements to evidence based reading remediation strategies. We would strongly recommend the Word Nerd Card Games as part of a regular literacy program through to specialized support for struggling readers.
My students are absolutely loving the Word Thief games!!! Their enthusiasm is amazing because I work with struggling readers who are two and three years behind their peers in reading. Please introduce more games that allow me to engage students in reading without the tedium of the flash card drill-and-kill routine.
