Spike’s Sight Words: Aliens Board – Early Literacy Game

Beam Up Reading Success

Learning to read should be a fun adventure. Specifically, the Spike’s Sight Words Aliens board uses a whimsical space theme to keep kids focused. This tool builds vital skills by turning study time into a visit to a far-off planet. In addition, it provides a tactile way to practice tricky words. If your child needs a confidence boost, this board offers the perfect hands-on experience. Similarly, it makes repetitive practice feel like a game. Consequently, mastering tricky words feels like a cosmic discovery rather than a chore.

How to Build Your Custom Spike Pack

Please remember that this is an individual board. Therefore, you must purchase three individual boards to complete your ‘Spike Pack’ and fulfill your order. If this is your first board, simply add it to your cart. Afterward, you can browse for your remaining pieces to complete the set. Our unique modular system allows you to customise your pack to suit your child’s interests. To reach your three-board goal, you can pair this with our Rocket Board or our Space Board. Additionally, this variety ensures a well-rounded vocabulary for your learner.

What you will get inside a COMPLETE pack:

• 3x Individual Spike’s Sight Words Boards (Mix and match your favourite themes!)

• Set of Word tokens (Includes Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced levels)

• Playing pieces and dice

• Quick-Start Guide to get you playing in seconds

• ‘Spike’ Tick Off Progress Sheet

Tips for Playing with Your Aliens Board

Start with the Beginner tokens to get the best results. Encourage your child to say each word aloud as they move through the craters and alien landscapes. Moreover, this multisensory approach is a proven method for phonetic success. As they gain confidence, you can swap in the harder tokens to keep the challenge alive. Because our system is modular, it grows with your child’s ability. By the time you finish your Spike Pack, your learner will have practiced over 150 high-frequency words.

The Science of Spike’s Sight Words

We believe children learn best when they are captivated by a story. For example, alien and sci-fi themes lower the stress of learning for young children by providing a sense of wonder and fun. This board targets high-frequency words found in most children’s literature. Thus, these skills translate directly to reading bedtime stories. Our levels align with early reading development milestones supported by the National Literacy Trust.
