The Best Things About Our Basic Music Reading Boom Cards

• Easy to assign. Use a FastPlay Link or FastPlay Pin for super simple assignment options.
• Self-checking. Boom Cards provide immediate feedback.
• FUN. Students are motivated to improve their scores.
• Fix Mistakes. When students make mistakes, they listen again and correct their answers.
• Economical. You do NOT have to purchase a deck of cards for each student. You may assign the same Boom Cards to all students in your classes and/or studio who are working on a particular skill.
• Sequential. Our Boom Cards are created as sequential sets similar to instrumental method books.
• Comprehensive. Use different sets with multiple grade levels.
• Versatile. Use as 1:1 activities, centers or stations, outside of class review, or pair with manipulates for interactive whole-class activities.
• Randomized. Each student will see the cards in a different order and each time a student repeats a set the order will be scrambled.

• Assign the level at which each student is ready.
• Students may repeat a level as many times as necessary.
• Students may work at their own pace, advancing when they have mastered each level.
• Students are motivated to improve their scores and earn incentives.
• Struggling students may repeat sets as needed and advanced students are allowed to soar!
