They trigger cognitive effort, relieve the pressure of solitary study, and "lower the affective filter."

Used in order, these 104 disposable, re-usable, and/or reproducible pages are leveled according to learners' stages of development. They're sure to build the needed abilities--as well as to build on them.            

What It Contains:

Instructions for Materials Users: • reasons why these pages exist  • descriptions of their content and use  • rules for gameplay  • ways to produce more such materials • differences between Lotto and Bingo  •  suggestions for continuing to practice

Fifteen different Bingo/Lotto Games displayed on eight (8) separate Grids of "shuffled images" each. A unique feature of these two-to-a-page Bingo/Lotto Boards is their Top bars or Sidebars, which give individuals not only pedagogical information but also instructions for play.

Nine (9) complete sets of (two-sided) Caller or Matching Cards to be cut apart as is or mounted on card stock before separating. To be used as Flash Cards, for matching in Lotto, and/or for showing or calling in Bingo, they display 9 large letters each, in the Arial Narrow font on handwriting guidelines--to be placed on or matched with Comic Sans letters on the corresponding 90 nine-box Grids. There's about 1/3 of the alphabet in each subset: Aa-Ii, Ii-Qq, Rr-Zz. Designed to be used first by pre-literate learners, they're in these styles:  •  block capital letters    •  block lower-case (small) letters    •  block upper- and lower-case manuscript letters  

Six (6) complete sets of small-format (two-sided) Caller or Matching Cards, 26 to a page, the first two (upper- and lower-case) in Arial Narrow on printing guidelines; the next one (Aa-Zz) in Times New Roman; and the last three in instructional cursive writing. Meant to be placed on or matched with letters in 16- and 25-box Grids displaying letters in Comic Sans or Script MT Bold (sometimes mixed), they'll "finish the job" of "teaching" alphabet letters, spurring players on to higher pursuits.
