WE ARE PARENTS AND SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGISTS

Our Mission

Kathy Hosty, MA, CCC-SLP and Michelle GIPS, MA CCC-SLP, speech-language pathologists, have applied their language expertise and knowledge of children to develop a winning set of card games. They determined the critical content and routines for maximum skill acquisition and play value. The intrinsically motivating games are aligned with the current science of reading and are compatible with any reading approach. Competitive tried-and-true classic card routines (think Crazy Eights, UNO, Set, Go Fish) progress from basic syllables to the Latin and Greek layers of English. Our Powerful Playbook extends play and covers all of the LANGUAGE bases of listening, talking, reading and writing in powerful extensions of game play. The stakes are high in the literacy game and these decks— hands down—are the most productive and entertaining reading practice available today. Our mission, simply, is to have everyone reading and enjoying the journey.
