2. Concentration game- Played just like Memory. Player must match a CVC word card to its correct picture card. For example, if the player flipped over a card with the word bug, they would be looking for the card with a picture of a bug to get a match. Once all of the matches are found, the game is over.

3. Collect the Stars game- Player must look at the picture and type in the CVC word. For example, if the player sees a picture of an ant, then they would type in the letters: a-n-t and earn a star. Once all of the starts are filled in, the game is complete.

4. Shoot Out game- Player clicks on a level either easy or hard and then loads their gun.Then the player is timed and must click on the correct answer. Usually they must find the letter that goes in the blank or read a word and click on the correct picture.
