Word Pop!

Word Pop! uses a multisensory and game-based approach to learning; this has been proven to improve knowledge and understanding by 90% in children. 95% of our customers reported their children improved reading skills within two weeks of playing this game.

Multisensory activities are based on whole-brain learning, encouraging learners to use more than one of their senses when taking in new information. When using more senses while learning to read educational researchers have found this increases word recognition and improves memory by 90%.

The fidget mats have letters to provide a hands-on, tactile experience that helps kids actively engage with the letters while they practice blending sounds and building words. By popping the letters, children reinforce letter recognition and phonics skills, making it easier for them to connect sounds to written words. The sensory feedback from popping helps solidify learning in a way that’s fun and memorable, turning a typical phonics lesson into an interactive and exciting activity!

Research shows overwhelmingly that systematic phonics is the most effective way of teaching reading to children of all abilities, including dyslexia. Sight word instruction is an excellent supplement to phonics instructions. It is recommended that children learn at least 10-20 sight words before formal phonics instruction. We recommend purchasing both The Fidget Game: Sight Words and Word Pop for the most effective learning experience.

CVC words are the first words students should learn to read because their simple pattern consonant-vowel-consonant makes it easier for children to transform individual sounds into short, simple, familiar words.

Yes! Research from Stanford University shows that students who learn to read using print materials, rather than screens, develop significantly faster reading rates and stronger fluency and comprehension skills. This hands-on game offers an engaging, screen-free way to reinforce reading skills, making it an even more effective tool for learning.
