A player might accomplish this easily, by scoring 4 points, then 3 points, then 6 points (4+3+6=13). The goal of the game is to have exactly 13 points. Used cards can go to the side to be shuffled and re-used later. Player B then takes a turn, getting a chance to draw a card, read the word, and score points. She loses that turn and Player B takes his turn. If Player A can’t read the word correctly within a few seconds, go through our sight words correction procedure to review and reinforce the correct word.
She can keep track of her points by putting the appropriate number of pennies or checkers on her Lucky 13 scorecard.
For example, if the card has the number 4 printed on it, she gets four points. She also gets points according to the number printed on the card. If she reads the word correctly, she gets to keep the card. (An adult should demonstrate this reading technique at the start of the game to teach or remind children how best to read the word.) Player A draws a card from the stack and reads the word on it out loud, moving her index finger from left to right underneath the letters as she reads. Shuffle the word cards and put them in a face-down stack.
