Book Reviews of Games for Reading: Playful Ways to Help Your Child Read
Book Review: a pleasure to learn
Summary: 5 Stars
We are a homeschooling family with young daughters. My youngest daughter has absolutely no interest in sitting down to learn to read and write. It has always been a struggle with her. At 8yo now, we have begun to get a little (maybe a lot) frustrated with each other and the learning to read and write process. We both inwardly cringe when I pull out the phonics books. However, Peggy Kaye's books: Games for Reading and Games for Writing have been lifesavers!!! These games are ALWAYS fun. My daughter eagerly looks forward to playing any of the games in these books. She will even write difficult spelling words over and over again just because she is in a contest with me! Who knew that competition would be the vehicle to get her interested in reading and writing?
I'm so excited about these books that I would recommend them to absolutely anyone with young readers and writers.
I haven't tried Games for Math, yet I'm sure that book is just as motivating as these books.
My 10yo daughter, who reads and writes exceptionally well for her age, sees us playing these games and requests to get involved as well. Yesterday one of the games had us all in a fit of giggles as we were trying to figure out which of the statements we had written down were truth or lies. Fun! Peggy Kaye is certainly a goddess in our household.
Summary of Games for Reading: Playful Ways to Help Your Child Read
HERE ARE OVER SEVENTY GAMES TO HELP YOUR CHILD LEARN TO READ--AND LOVE IT.Peggy Kaye's Games for Reading helps children read by doing just what kids like best: playing games. There is a "bingo" game that helps children learn vocabulary. There is a rhyming game that helps them hear letter sounds more accurately. There are mazes and puzzles, games that train the eye to see patterns of letters, games that train the ear so a child can sound out words, games that awaken a child's imagination and creativity, and games that provide the right spark to fire a child's enthusiasm for reading. There are games in which your child has to act silly and games--sure to be any child's favorite--in which you do.
Easy to follow and easy to play, these games are ideal for busy, working parents. You can read a game in a few minutes and start to play right away. You can play on car trips, while doing the laundry, or while cooking. These games are so much fun for the whole family that you may forget their serious purpose. But they will help all beginning readers--those who have reading problems and those who do not--learn to read and want to read.
Games for Reading also includes a list of easy-to-read books and books for reading aloud, and a "Note to Teachers" on how to play these games in their classrooms.
