Practice Words 4 - Deck 1

Practice Words 4 – Deck 1

A "deck" in this context means exactly what it sounds like — a set of word cards. The PDF is fully printable, so you can cut them out and use them just like a physical card deck.

By the time kids reach Level 4 of Learning to Read – Back to Basics, they've come a long way — and this card deck is designed to lock in all that hard work.

Practice Words 4 – Deck 1 gives students a hands-on way to practise the foundational phonics sounds covered in the first half of Level 4, from consonant sounds and short vowels through to letter pairs and blends. It's the essential building blocks — the sounds kids need solid under their feet before the trickier territory ahead.

But here's the thing — it doesn't feel like drilling. The deck comes with instructions for six different games kids can play: Memory, Snap, Go Fish, Word Race, Bingo, and Word Hunt Relay. So whether you've got one keen reader or a whole group, there's a game that'll work. They read the cards aloud as they play, which means they're getting the repetition they need without it feeling like a chore.

Available as a printable PDF — just print, cut, and you're ready to play. If you've got the hard copy version, the cards are right there to cut out.

A practical, engaging companion to the first half of Level 4 — and honestly, a lot of fun.
