My Project

These reading games are a much needed addition to our classroom. Sometimes learning and practicing reading gets old and boring and stresses kids out. My students are struggling readers who are starting to check out. I need to change that.

These educational reading games will help my students build confidence in their abilities while keeping them actively engaged in reading practice.

My students need to learn to make reading fun again. Adding a little fun competition in a game helps them not only in their reading, but also in being a good sport.
