Description: These interactive task cardsto strengthen phonics and decoding skills based on the Science of Reading. It includes 30 task cards, each focusing on a single three-syllable word composed of closed, open, and vowel-consonant-e syllables. The missing syllable in the fill-in-the-blank activity is always an open syllable, requiring students to apply syllable type knowledge. Each card includes three tasks: Fill in the Missing Syllable (multiple-choice format). Spelling Practice (type the full word). Syllable Division (break the word into its three syllables). The deck is text-based with no pictures, ensuring students rely solely on reading and decoding skills, making it ideal for older students who need age-appropriate materials. Words include examples with schwa sounds, helping students decode less predictable vowel pronunciations. This resource aligns with explicit, direct phonics instruction and is perfect for students learning through structured literacy approaches, including those with dyslexia or other decoding challenges. It provides highly accessible practice for spelling and reading three-syllable words, promoting mastery through repetition and engagement. Designed for classroom use, tutoring, or homeschooling, this Boom Deck is versatile and easy to implement. Its interactive format makes it engaging while reinforcing critical reading skills, ensuring success for struggling readers or those needing extra practice with multisyllabic words.
