Tips for Playing with Your Football Board
Start with the Beginner tokens to get the best results. Encourage your child to say each word aloud as they move the ball up the pitch. 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 cheering for their own success. For example, sports themes like football lower the stress of learning for active children by providing a familiar, rewarding structure. 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.
