Beat the Tiger
Directions: Students will practice reading these sentences until they are fluent readers.
Directions for playing Beat the Tiger – This game has students play as a team as they try to beat the tiger. Each
student reads two or more sentences of the story. If the student makes an error that affects the comprehension of
the sentence, and he or she does not correct the error before moving to the next sentence, the tiger gets a point.
If the student does correct his or her error, or if no errors are made, the kids’ team gets a point. If an error is
made that does not affect the comprehension of the sentence, neither side gets a point.

Special Teacher Note: Students should practice making the sounds and a rimes in the shaded area below until they
can automatically say 1-30 in 40 seconds. Do not move to phonics Lesson 2 until students are automatic on 1-30.
Practice with students using the appropriate cards from Decks 1 and 2.
Students should not be automatic on 31-60. Students should attempt to sound out these words using onset and rime,
and then students should say the whole word together. Example: Students should say /c/ /at/ and then say /cat/.
Students are not required to master this blending skill until Lesson 15.
