More Reading Games

All children that go to school, are taught by targets that should be reached.

This is usually done by age group such as 5-7 years old, 8-11 years old and so on.

But each child is different and will learn things at different speed, so don’t get to hung up on Targets and don’t be to pushy!

Let children grow at their own speed.

English can be split up into four sections speaking, listening, reading and writing. So we will look at different activities that you can do within each section.

Speaking and Learning To Read Games

Children talk all the time so is there a need for any games?

Rhyming Games and Word Games will help them learn new words, they can use their fantastic imagination to create rhyming poems, and have fun.

We can then help build on this again by letting your child making up their own stories, and putting on a show using Learning Puppets, or a Picture Book, this will help strengthen their confidence, and let us listen to the way they speak, to make sure that they talk clearly.

Listening and Learning To Read Games

Some children find it difficult to sit and listening to a story or a teacher’s instruction. By playing listening games children, learn to be quiet and still to hear what the sound is.

Cock-a-Doodle-Moo: A Mixed Up Menagerie is great fun for kids and learning games like Outside Sounds Listening Lotto really grab their attention.

Reading and Learning To Read Games

Reading is a wonder full skill, which lets children’s imagination run wild.

Learning to read begins, with you reading to your child as a baby. With time your child understands that the content of a book never changes. Later on, after much sharing of books, children begin to play read and turn the pages of a favourite story while chanting parts of it aloud.

There are two ways are children are usually taught to read, either by Look and Say or by Using Phonics

A Word Building Game and learning what new words mean will help grow your child’s mind. Using Rhyming Words Games is also great fun.

Writing and Learning To Read Games

If your child has had the opportunity to use paint, crayons or small construction toys this would all help their fine motor skill, and consequently their writing skill.

Teach your child to hold a pencil correctly and guide them over letters of their name or through workbooks suitable for their age group, if they need you to, place your hand gently on top of theirs

Once your child knows how to trace letters shapes with your help, see if they can use their looking skills to make letter shapes by drawing over faint dots you’ve made.

Early writing will not necessarily be the correct way up or stay in a horizontal line. But do try and help your child correct this, so that it’s not an on going problem.
