Make sure to note:

This is for ONE Bible Story Decodable reader resource. Others are /will be listed separately in my store.

For most decodable readers the writer can ‘make up’ a story by choosing from only these types of words. However, to accurately tell the Bible story, I had to use a few sight words and Bible vocabulary.

These are not meant to be in-depth Bible lessons. These are meant to support your reading program, integrating the Bible into early learning!

Contents

This pack contains:

Instructions and 8 selected game boards for my most popular games:

-Honeycomb Race – Lesson 22 /k/, Lesson 23 /h/

-Lucky Squares – Lesson 44 /ck/, lesson 45 /sh/

-Dots and Boxes – Lesson 54 /a-e/, lesson 55 /i-e/

-Capture a Ghost – Lesson 64 –ed /t/, lesson 67a closed/closed syllables

You will need:

The games are a great way to provide extra practice in blending to reinforce the student’s ability to decode and to blend sounds together. Additional practice can help with automaticity in decoding;

Once the student has received the lessons on the new concept work, the games can be used for additional practice at word-level skills. The student can read the word for reading practice while they are playing a fun and engaging game.

The students can spell the word using their manipulative letters or a whiteboard and marker. Ask them to read the word to their playing partner, their playing partner can spell/write the word.

What other teacher’s are saying about my other products:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lucky Squares: My students beg me to play this whenever they have a bit of free time!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Honeycomb Race: These are awesome! Such an easy extension from UFLI lessons to use for centers, homework, small groups. I love these!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My students love playing the Dots and Boxes game! It provides great practice and reinforcement of the skill we're working on in UFLI. I have extra copies that I keep for fast finishers, so they can play with a classmate.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Capture the Flag: This is a great resource! I love UFLI and having an additional game to practice the sound we are working on is very engaging for my students.
