Game Description:
Learning To Read is a Snap!
Reading Rods® are versatile interlocking manipulative that are fun
to use when teaching and learning to read. The Rods are color-coded
to define the function of the letter(s) or words, and to differentiate
between consonants, vowels, blends nouns, verbs, etc. Rods only
connect from left to right, providing a self-correcting format that
builds student confidence.
 
Reading Rods® also offer developmentally appropriate skills.
As children progress through more advanced skills, rods
and activities do also.
 
Make learning to read a snap! Word for Word Game is a fast-paced word-building fun for the whole family! Snap together letters to build as many words as you can before the time runs out. Try to make words on all four sides of each rod for extra points. Multiple ways to play - great for all ages!
