Super Genius First Words - Tabletop Card Game, Fun Flash Card Concentration Matching Game for Kids, Ages 5 and up, 1-6 Players, Teacher Approved, Begin Learning to Read, by Blue Orange Games

Great game for beginning readers. Promotes quick thinking!

I use this with the students that I tutor. It is loved by all ages! The more the children play it the faster their processing. Easy to store. Lots of fun!

I bought this game to play with my students. It is a great way to practice math facts and have fun. They didn’t even realize they were learning because they were having so much fun. I highly recommend.

I’m a retired math specialist, grades 2 - Alg1. I work now as a math tutor. Parents, please help your littles learn their math facts! This ingenious deck of cards is a highly engaging (and enticing) way for kids to practice their memory work. Very popular! I recommend it for children who are on their way with memorizing but not yet completely proficient. You’ll definitely want to go ahead and tuck it into your arsenal but you won’t want to use it as a beginning or intro exercise. Worth every penny! (And I’m a major penny pincher!). :o)

I am falling in love with this company. My sister and her kids had us play Spot It and we loved playing it. Then I found this version by the same company that uses beginning word and pictures to create the same game. We adapted it a bit because obviously my husband and I can read faster than my 5 year old so we start by letting her read each word on the card first, then we flip the picture card and it's a free for all. Since the words repeat a lot she is getting more and more confident in reading them and spends less time sounding them out now. There are two more advanced reading versions as well as math from addition to multiplication II, we'll be getting those as she advances. (They also have some alphabet ones for younger kids.) This is a great way to get a stubborn learner learning.

Good game for early readers. Lots of variations make it applicable for a variety of levels. I have used it with grandchildren and with K and 1st grade students in my volunteer work.

I bought this for my daughter who has been struggling with very simple words. She has to sound out everything and honestly her confidence has taken a pretty hard hit. I bought this because she loves playing Spot It! I play this alone with her only because I can gauge when I can give her JUST enough competition to make her feel like she actually has a winning chance, instead of giving up because her older siblings are squashing her. It has worked like a charm!!! She loves playing this game and I no longer get tears during reading lessons. I have also used Teach Your Monster to Read (another raving review there) and Explode the Code workbooks. She enjoys using all of these and is making some noticeable progress now!!!

I teach English to kids in Hong Kong, all levels from K thru high school, and all the kids love these, even some of my older kids. The K levels just enjoy the puzzle and get excited when they find the match, older kids get very competitive. Sturdy cards, I have now purchased all of the different sets, First Words, Reading 1, Reading 2 etc.
