Super Genius is a series of compact matching card games—available in several themes, including Sight Words (First Words, Reading 1, Reading 2), Compound Words, Addition, Multiplication, and Vocabulary themes (animals, fruits & veggies). Each deck follows the same engaging gameplay: with each pair of cards, there’s one matching connection to find—whether between a word and its image, two images, or two words.
Phonological & Reading Development
- Sight-word fluency: Decks like First Words and Reading 1 focus on Dolch sight words, helping children recognize high-frequency words quickly, boosting decoding speed and confidence
- Compound word awareness: The Compound Words deck encourages learners to connect two images or words (e.g., snow + man → snowman), reinforcing word segmentation and expanding vocabulary .
Numeracy & Math Skills
- Addition & Multiplication decks present math facts as equation-to-sum matching (e.g., 3 + 4 → 7, or 3 × 2 → 6), supporting quick retrieval of facts and reinforcing number sense
Cognitive and Processing Skills
- Visual perception & attention: Players scan for the single matching connection on every card flip, sharpening visual discrimination and selective attention across all decks
- Speed & processing: Timing-based play (“first to spot the match”) encourages quick mental retrieval, ideal for developing fluency in reading or math
