Practice Words 4 - Deck 2

Practice Words 4 – Deck 2

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 2 tackles the trickier end of Level 4 phonics — the quirks and complexities that make English such an adventure. Think ei making an ā sound in "vein," ou doing unexpected things in "would" and "double," and all the other irregular spellings and sound combinations that trip up even confident readers. The deck covers the full range of letter pairs at this level, building both recognition and fluency with sounds that don't always follow the rules.

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 second half of Level 4 — and a satisfying way to round out the level.
