Word Chase! kids reading game from Beyond Learning familiarizes players with "sight words", the top 25 building block words in the English language (also know as Dolch List and Fry's Instant words). These words are common stumbling blocks to emerging readers and are essential for reading fluency. Although most kids learning games focus exclusively on upper-case letters, over 90% of the English language is written in lower-case, putting children only familiar with upper-case at a disadvantage. Word Chase! reading game includes only lower case letters. Small touches, like the bee buzzing along the bottom of each card, helps emerging readers instantly recognize when a word is right side up or upside down. The fun and colorful illustartions by Linda bronson make this game a joy to play. Word Chase! learning game is designed for children ages 4 and up, but also accomodates younger children who are just learning to identify letters as well as older children who are mastering strategy. Fun for the whole family!
Beyond Learning donates a portion of every sale to Healthy Child Healthy World, a nationally recognized non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public about environmental toxins that can affect children's health.
