Crazy Syllables was designed to reinforce word identification at the single syllable level. A syllable is a single unit of sound with one vowel sound. The speed and accuracy of word identification at the syllable level is the first step toward fluency. Each deck of cards consists of words to be discarded in categories: vowel sounds or syllable patterns. Each player is dealt eight cards to begin play. The object of the game is to discard the cards dealt and drawn from when necessary from the the draw pile before one’s opponent.
