This pack now includes a matching set of BOOM! Cards perfect for teletherapy and distance learning!
The BOOM! Cards are easy to navigate with a comprehensive Table of Contents. Each of the 6 stories features engaging graphics and moveable pieces so the student can "play" with the characters while practicing their targets.
You will also find 6 drill pages, and slides to practice relevant vocabulary at the CV/CVC/CVC level.
To use Boom Cards, you must be connected to the Internet. Boom Cards play on modern browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge). Apps are available for modern Android, iPads, iPhones, and Kindle Fires. For security and privacy, adults must have a Boom Learning account to use and assign Boom Cards. You will be able to assign the Boom Cards you are buying with "Fast Pins," (a form of play that gives instant feedback to students for self-grading Boom Cards).
