6 full color “rocket” slide cards
28 word strips with 280 words using 40 word families
Read alone or practice reading with a partner. Partners can keep track of how many words are read correctly. The child reads the word shown on the front of the rocket slide card. The partner looks at the back of the slide and is able to see if the child read the word correctly. The word read is shown below the bottom slot on the back.
Reading races are fun. Use a stop watch and record how long it takes to read a word strip.
Read a word then use it in a sentence.
One child reads a word and then hands the rocket to a friend. The friend holds the rocket as the child spells the word. The friend then lets the child know if the word was spelled correctly.
