Shake, Rattle & Roll Short Vowel Dice Reading Game Kit | Class Set of 5

Build strong foundational reading skills through play with this engaging, hands-on dice-based word building kit designed for small group instruction. The Shake, Rattle & Roll Short Vowel Dice Reading Game Kit supports up to five students at a time, making it ideal for center stations, small groups, and targeted intervention.

Students roll two dice—one for the onset (beginning sound) and one for the rime (word ending). They match each roll to the corresponding columns on the mat, say the sounds aloud, and blend them together to form words. This interactive routine strengthens phonemic awareness and reinforces sound-symbol relationships in a fun, collaborative learning environment.

After building each word, students write it on the mat while repeating the sounds. This intentional, multisensory practice supports orthographic mapping, helping words become stored in long-term memory for improved reading and spelling.

With five laminated mats—one for each short vowel (a, e, i, o, u)—students receive repeated, targeted practice across all vowel patterns. Both real and “nonsense” words are encouraged, helping learners focus on accurate decoding and blending skills rather than memorization.

This award-winning Luminous Minds resource provides meaningful, research-based practice aligned with the Science of Reading and is ideal for both classroom and small group use.
