Word Invasion provides practice in matching word types. Jellyfish with words in them drift toward the octopus at the bottom. Word types are placed in the octopus, and then the octopus is activated to fire beams that destroy the matching word. Your student reads the type and determines whether the word closest to the octopus matches the type. If the word and type match, your student can fire at the word and move to the next type.
