Ahoy!

Set Sail for Learning Success with Ahoy!

Ahoy! is the exciting Spot-it™ style game that helps students master Gray Matter Anchor Words while building processing speed and boosting cognitive skills—all through play!

With 57 vibrant cards, each displaying 8 Anchor Word pictures, players race to spot the one matching image between any two cards. It’s a face-paced and playful challenge that keeps students eager to practice their Anchor Words from Groups 1-12 while strengthening visual discrimination, attention, and quick thinking, making it the perfect addition to your educational therapy toolkit.

You’ll recognize the familiar images from the Gray Matter Anchor Deck, making this game a natural extension of your existing NILD tools. These same engaging pictures can also be found in the Decodable Readers series: Pals and Pets (Volumes 1-3) and Best of Pals (Volumes 1-3). Ahoy! serves as a bridge connecting these materials, reinforcing Anchor Words across multiple contexts for deeper student learning and creating a seamless learning experience across your instruction.
