Most use materials that are found in your home. The Reading games are designed to be fun for both you and your children as you help them to gain the skills they need to become better readers. Other than helping your children to grow up healthy and happy, the most important thing that you can do for them is to help them develop their reading skills. It is no exaggeration to say that how well children learn to read affects directly not only how successful they are in school, but also how well they do throughout their lives. When children learn to read, they have the key that opens the door to all the knowledge of the world. Without this key, many children are left behind. Years of research show clearly that children are more likely to succeed in learning when their families actively support them. When you and other family members read with your children, help them with homework, talk with their teachers, and participate in school or other learning activities, you give your children a tremendous advantage.This book includes 20 reading game instructions for families with elementary age children, that can be "Made at Home". Most of the activities make learning experiences out of the everyday routines in which you and your children participate. Most use materials that are found in your home. The games are designed to be fun for both you and your children as you help them to gain the skills they need to become readers. Each game is stored in a one gallon sized zipper bag for easy use and storage. Instructions are designed to make one at a time, or hold a swap to make all 20 Reading Games. Read what others are saying about Reading Games.We've been trying the Reading Games at home and they a great add-on to our home-school! Our boys are already asking for more games and our oldest offered to do the games with his little brother. There are 20 games to use with lower elementary age children to review sounds, word recognition, syllables, memorization, eye tracking and more. I'm planning to use these games to review reading skills throughout the summer break. ~ hiswonderfulworksUsing Reading Games with my children has brought a lot of fun and laughter into our home. They were easy to make at home. My young readers love the games and want to play them all the time. They have not caught on yet that the games are improving their reading skills! Way to go Activity Bags! ~ Grace M.I made Reading Games as a gift for my daughter-in-law and grandson! ~ Debbie G.Reading Games helps my second grader with sight reading and my 5 year old with phonics. We love the games! Thank you. ~ Kassi L.I love the idea of having everything needed for the activity enclosed in a bag so there is never a need to gather supplies. Your little ones can just pick up a bag and go to work. Each bag costs about a dollar to make, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. Each bag teaches a valuable skill to your child. For example, matching, alphabetical order, numerical order, sorting or patterning. The books come to you in PDF format so you must have access to a printer to be able to make the activity bags. I had to supply things like card stock in various colors, sandwich bags, gallon plastic bags, small paper cups, un-popped popcorn, plastic page protectors, contact paper, pennies, dry erase markers, felt, and paper lunch sacks. The areas of learning covered the following: eye tracking, word recognition, listening skills, letter sounds, sound recognition, memorization, and separating words.Skills being strengthened by these activities include phonemic awareness, phonics, sight reading, syllabication, eye tracking and more. One of our favorite activities was Beginning, Middle, End.
