Learning to read should be a world-class adventure. The Spike’s Sight Words Famous Landmarks board introduces phonics through a global travel theme that sparks curiosity about the world. This landmark-themed tool builds word recognition by turning study time into a journey to the world’s greatest monuments. 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 a grand tour 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 Chinese Dragon Board or our Ancient Egypt Board. Additionally, this variety ensures a well-rounded vocabulary for your learner.

What you will get inside a COMPLETE pack:

Tips for Playing with Your Landmarks Board

Start with the Beginner tokens to get the best results. Encourage your child to say each word aloud as they “visit” each famous site on the board. 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 exploring the world around them. For example, geography and landmark themes lower the stress of learning for inquisitive children by providing a sense of discovery. 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.
