Learn with Play at Home: Learn to Read. 6 Reading Games

Welcome to TUESDAY TOTS. Brought to you weekly by Learn with Play at home (that's us), Rainy Day Mum and One Perfect Day.

This week we are showcasing

"6 Games to practice Reading"

Learning to read is one of those very important developmental milestones for kids. The completely awesome thing about learning to read is that really, all you need to do to learn to read, is to read (and read, and read, and read).
Ok, so generally there is a starting point to learning to read formally, which is by learning letters. But learning to read should start long before individual letter learning and it comes from being read to as a child. For children to learn how to read they need to be read to continuously and they need to have opportunities to read text in all forms.
To help with the comprehension of text, children often practice sight words so that their reading flows more easily and understanding is not lost. Just reading over letters and lists of sight words isn't the most interesting activity for kids though, so here are 6 games from last week's Tuesday Tots link-up, that make practicing reading fun.

1. Gross Motor Reading Game from Learn with Play at Home

2. Soccer Kick Reading Game from J Daniel 4's Mom

3. Letter Hop from The Four H's Housewife

4. Sight Word Bang from There's Just One Mommy

5. Word Toss. Sight Words Game from Learn with Play at Home

6. Movie Charades from Moms and Munchkins
