Reading and Writing Games and Puzzles

Playing games and doing puzzles is a way that parents can help their children learn. It’s also a time for parents and children to have fun together.

Reading Games

• Reading games come in all different varieties. You can buy them at the store or you can make your own.
• Play games often! Set aside a “Games Night” to play together.
• Games you can buy: Junior Scrabble, Alphabet Bingo and Boggle are some of them. Also, playing games like Monopoly is a chance for your child to use some of their reading skills.
• Games you can make: alphabet puzzles, alphabet match ups, and alphabet memory are just a few.

Why should we play games?

• Games and puzzles are fun.
• Children learn to read without even thinking about it.
• Children gain confidence.
• When parents and children spend time playing games together, the child learns he/she is loved, respected and valued.
