Rime Magic

With Rime Magic, teachers carry out instruction using various sets of cards and lessons. The cards contain onsets and rimes that students identify, analyze, and combine into words—like magic! The onset and rime lessons help students “crack the code” of the written word and, when used repeatedly, bolster reading proficiency. Over time, word recognition becomes more automatic, leading to enhanced comprehension and fluency. Each kit contains: • Magic Rime Cards (two sets— total of 60 cards) • Power Pak Cards (one set—450 cards representing 30 key rimes with 15 rime-embedded words each for intervention work) • Endings and Short Vowels Cards • Poem Cards • Three trade books: What Bears Like, Frog and Toad Are Friends, and Fables • Rime Word Spelling Activity Sheet, Base Word Constancy Activity Sheet, Long Vowel Spelling Activity Sheet, and a Word Juggling Sheet

What is Rime Magic? It’s a new word recognition resource that’s changing the lives of all readers—beginning readers, English learners, and older striving readers who need more support. The rime is the key part of a word that makes it easy to see the structure (for example, the /ip/ in slippery or the /at/ in splattered). Teachers carry out instruction using rime and word cards and engaging lessons found inside the Rime Magic kit. Students add onsets and endings to the rimes to identify, analyze, and combine into words—like magic! These onset/rime lessons help students “crack the code” of the written word and, when used repeatedly in five-minute lessons, bolster reading and spelling proficiency. With practice, students pick up the pace and the rime jumps out at them as they read. Confidence soars and word recognition becomes more and more automatic, leading to enhanced comprehension and fluency.This kit includes:o Teacher’s Guideo Rime and Word Cardso Short Vowel and Endings Cardso Power Pak intervention seto Poem Cardso Trade books for younger readerso High-interest articles for older readerso How-to videos that show each Rime Magic step in actiono Downloadable student pages and teaching tools
