Reading games for beginning readers

Try these series for children who are ready. For more early reader series. Some of our students are ready sooner than others to take on more difficult chapter books. But, we want to make sure that the content of those books is age-appropriate. Graphic novels are a fantastic gateway into hooking new readers into reading. And, more and more options are exploding onto the reading scene. New readers need lots of practice with decoding and playful hands-on games are just the ticket for extra practice.

Try these CVC consonant vowel consonant phonics activities. Most of the books only have two characters and they speak through dialogue speech bubbles making it super easy for students to follow. If you have a child that needs help with pacing, phrasing, and fluency this is the series to get.

Plus, kids love them! New readers need lots of practice building fluency. Try this Unlimited Squirrels Book Activity to continue practicing. Take turns hiding the marble and mixing up the cups. The child guesses where the marble is located and says the vowel sound. Correctly read the first sentence or paragraph to advance to the second ring.

If you make a mistake, stay on the outer ring. Use word stickers on your Connect Four game pieces. Pick one of the word stickers, read the sight word correctly, then put the word piece into the game. Four in a row wins. Add labels with words written on them to Duplo blocks. Build sentences and stories. Learn some new Pinka moves with Pinkalicious or play freeze dance with Peterrific. Arthur Arthur's Park. Curious George Hide and Seek Mathematics.

Molly of Denali Veggiezilla! Letter Sound Slap — This was was also a favorite! Shoot the Sight Word from 1plus1plus1equals 1. The activities for reader who can not sit still are great. I have three boys as well and will incorporate some of these into their learning activities. Thank you. My five year old son drives me crazy moving all over the place when I'm trying to do school work with him.

Now I feel like I can take a deep breath and be more patient because I now know he is not the only one. Your articles are great but do you have any ideas for older boys? My grandson is 9 and never stops moving! He loves to read too!
