Engaging Literacy Practice with UFLI Bingo!

Building early literacy skills is essential for young learners, and engaging activities can make all the difference. The UFLI aligned Bingo provides a fun, interactive way to reinforce phonics skills while keeping students motivated. 

What Is UFLI aligned Bingo?

UFLI aligned Bingo is an educational game designed to align with the lessons from the University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI) phonics program. This game incorporates words introduced in the lesson and offers a structured yet playful way for students to strengthen their decoding skills.

How It Works

The game setup is simple:

• Each player receives a Bingo sheet featuring words from the lesson.

• A caller reads words from the calling cards.

• Students mark the called words on their Bingo sheets using small objects like buttons or paper circles.

• The first player to mark five words in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) shouts, “Bingo!”

This classic game format transforms phonics practice into an engaging challenge rather than a repetitive drill.
