Magic 100 Words – Learning to Read Can Be Fun

Magic 100 Words Playing Cards feature 220 Playing Cards and Instruction Booklet.

In English, there are 100 frequently occurring words that make up, on average, half the words found in reading and writing. These literacy activities and games promote automatically (the rapid, instant recognition and processing of words), which significantly improves fluency and flexibility in reading.  Mastering half the words used in reading and writing makes the task of reading and writing “magically” easier.

The games are easy to use with the whole class, small groups and individuals. They are also ideal for parents to play with children. These educational games help you to learn the Magic Words quickly and easily while having fun!
