Word Wiz – Where Morphology Meets Strategy

Created by a certified speech-language pathologist, Word Wiz is a research-supported card game that helps students master the most common prefixes and suffixes through interactive, hands-on play. With multiple ways to build, define, and apply new words, this game turns word learning into an engaging and strategic experience.

Students dive into morphology by combining root words with high-utility prefixes and suffixes to create new words, expand vocabulary, and develop stronger language skills.

Each set includes:

• 96 Unique Root Word Cards

• 55 Prefix Cards (8 unique)

• 80 Suffix Cards (11 unique)

• 1 Action Spinner

• 4 Student Cue Cards

• 2 Levels of Difficulty (Beginner & Advanced)

• Comprehensive Instruction Booklet with Answer Key

How to play:

During play, students spin the action spinner and complete word-based challenges such as:

• Define It – Explain the meaning of the word

• Use It in a Sentence – Demonstrate contextual understanding

• Cover & Spell It – Reinforce spelling and decoding

• Apply the Affix in a New Way – Encourage flexibility and creativity

As students build and apply words, they earn points and compete to defend their creations. Other players can “steal” words by adding new affixes—keeping the game fast-paced and strategic.

Aligns with state standards, including:

• Morphological awareness

• Vocabulary growth

• Reading comprehension

• Expressive language development

Perfect for small group therapy, classroom instruction, or centers, Word Wiz is designed for learners of varying levels. Student cue cards provide clear explanations and examples to support independent use and scaffolded instruction.

By constructing, defining, and using new words immediately, students solidify their learning in a fun, purposeful way.
