We have been having a lot of fun while practicing our phonics and reading skills.\r\n\r\nThe Letter Sequence game has helped my kindergartners identify the first sounds in words. Super Words and Sight Word Bingo have been a hit with the first and second graders who are building the list of words they can read by sight. The third, fourth and fifth graders are clamoring to play Boggle and Bananagrams, which are really challenging their spelling skills. Finally, all the grades love the Scrabble Junior, because it has two versions and challenges everyone to spell words at their level. \r\n\r\nThe students and I simply cannot thank you enough for making this happen! The joy and educational benefit that these games have brought to our program is immeasurable.
