My students can read... not a problem! But they don't know what most of their words mean. Comprehension can be quite a challenge when reading a story and you don't know what the words mean. My sixth grade students have a passion for reading. They struggle with comprehension and understanding what words are.

Interactive games will allow my students to get interested in vocabulary and learning new words. Rather than reading books, hands-on games will get my students involved.

I need board games, classroom games, and individual games. These games will be used for future students in my classroom.

You will make a difference by helping my classroom! Just imagine... children that have expansive vocabularies!
