Play2Read: Outlaw

Players take turns flipping over cards and reading the short phrases which are composed of high frequency words to reinforce sight word recognition and fluency. Each player can flip over as many words as they want to in a turn, and they can choose to stop when they like (and take the cards they've collected) but if you flip over an outlaw, you lose the pile! Whoever collects the most cards, wins!

• High frequency word practice
• Builds fluency
• Phrase reading

Outlaw words bridge new readers from single words
to familiar phrase reading. These high frequency
words make up the majority of all words
read.  These are the words that pave the
way for fluency.

Breaking Games has a unique set of card games that guarantee sustained reading practice. These intrinsically motivating games are aligned with current reading research and are compatible with any reading approach.

“My students really love the Outlaw character and the game.
They are always ready to play (and practice).”
