Spike’s Sight Words: Army in the Jungle Board – Early Literacy Game

Deploy for Reading Success in the Deep Jungle

Learning to read should be a thrilling mission. The Spike’s Sight Words Army in the Jungle board introduces tricky words through a tactical adventure theme that keeps children engaged and alert. This army-themed tool builds word recognition by turning study time into a strategic trek through the undergrowth. Whether your child is just starting or needs a confidence boost, this tactile board provides a hands-on experience. Consequently, mastering tricky sight words feels like completing a successful operation 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 Cops ‘n’ Robbers Board or our Boat Rescue Board. Additionally, this variety ensures a well-rounded vocabulary for your learner.

Tips for Playing with Your Army Jungle Board

Start with the Beginner tokens to get the best results. Encourage your child to say each word aloud as they “march” their unit through the jungle. 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 on a mission. For example, adventure and military themes lower the stress of learning for active children by providing a clear, goal-oriented environment. 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.
