I work as an interventionist with all the awesome kindergarten and first grade students in our school. We work on all the building blocks of reading. I'm looking for engaging and educational games that can help kindergarten and first-grade students practice their reading skills in a fun and interactive way.
As Mr. Rogers said, play is the work of children, I want to make sure I can give the students ample options to learn while they play.
These games focus on foundational literacy concepts such as letter recognition, phonics, sight words, and simple sentence structure. The goal is to make reading enjoyable while reinforcing key skills through play, so that young learners can build confidence and develop a love for reading early on.
