Sight Word Stackable Cup Game

Targets: I used the cups to target sight words but you could use them to target anything like specific phonemes, verbs, or numbers.

What you'll need:
  • Dixi cups or condiment cups (I bought condiment cups because they were cheaper and they work just as well)
  • A pen
  • Tape or glue



How to create:
Write directly on the cup or tape/glue strips of paper to each cup (make sure you're gluing it the right way up so that when the child builds the words will be readable).

How to play:
First, I have my client read the word on the cup.  For each word he gets correct, he adds the cup to his tower.  For maximum production I have him repeat all the sight words on his tower before adding another cup.

Storage Clipboard



This "Dexas No.1 School Clipcase" is perfect for storing papers/pens/other therapy materials.  Light weight and portable, it's ideal for speech therapists on the go-or for those who always seem to have their hands full.

I found mine for 25 cents at a flea market (talk about a bargain!).  On Amazon it retails for  $10.99.  Most clipboards range from around $10 (for the more simple ones) to $25 (for the fancy ones).  It's definitely a worthwhile investment-I can't wait to try mine out!

Here are a couple of different options:
