Matching Words
Matching Words is a playful, research-informed literacy game designed to strengthen visual discrimination at word level — a crucial skill for fluent reading, spelling accuracy, and comprehension.
Using a domino-style matching format, learners visually scan, compare, and match identical words, training their brains to notice small but meaningful differences in letter order and word structure. This skill is essential for preventing reading errors, improving attention to detail, and supporting accurate word recognition.
Ideal for early readers, struggling readers, ESL learners, and children with cognitive or language delays, Matching Words turns an essential reading foundation skill into an engaging, low-prep activity for classrooms, therapy rooms, and home learning environments.
Designed by Remedial Specialist, Annemarie Roux and aligned with the Science of Reading, this resource turns foundational skill-building into joyful learning.
