Games for Reading: Playful Ways to Help Your Child Read

At the risk of being redundant, I’d like to highlight one more of Peggy Kaye’s Game books. I’ve already reviewed Games for Math and Games for Writing here at The Curriculum Choice. All three books are similar in format, but I’ve found each of them to be of such great value that I just had to share Games for Reading with you.

Games for Reading by Peggy Kaye contains over 70 games to help your child learn to read & make it FUN! - bingo, rhyming, mazes, puzzles and more!

Games for Reading: Playful Ways to Help Your Child Read

Games for Reading: Playful Ways to Help You Child Read

Games are a wonderful way to spice up any reading method or curriculum. Children love to play, and fun games can take the drudgery out of drill. Plus, games are a great pastime when it’s too hot to go outside!

Games for Reading contains seventy-six games that cover nearly every skill needed for reading. Although they are aimed at beginning readers, meaning 1st through 3rd graders, these games are valuable for proficient readers too.

The games are organized into four parts:

  • Part 1 – Games to improve sight vocabulary
  • Part 2 – Games that develop phonics/sounding out skills
  • Part 3 – Games to strengthen reading comprehension
  • Part 4 – Games to get children to love books and want to read!

If you’d like to check out some of these games, you can visit Peggy Kaye’s website to download samples from each of her books.

There are two additional Games books which I have not seen, Games for Learning and Games with Books. If anyone has used these, I’d be interested in hearing about them.

I hope that you and your children can get your hands on a copy of Games for Reading and have some fun playing and learning together!
