This resource is engaging, well-organized, and easy to implement in the classroom. The directions are clear, and the activities provide meaningful practice that supports student understanding. I especially appreciate how it can be differentiated to meet a variety of learning needs. My students were highly engaged and showed great progress while using this resource. I would definitely recommend it to other teachers!

These are the best! Super easy to run and the kids really enjoy them! I've also had subs use them and they have gone well. The kids forget that they are practicing reading because they enjoy playing them so much!

It was great to partner my students to play each of these games. My kids thought they were just playing games without actually practicing a skill.

I try to incorporate games that align with the skills we are learning, so this resource was very helpful for a center rotation and early finishers.
