My students love playing games and why not make learning as fun as possible! I believe that children should have fun why learning. They regularly come in and ask if today they can play a reading game. I love seeing their excitment as they play and they are learning at the same time. This warms my heart as I know I am making a difference in their education.\r\n\r\nI received a variety of games that I use with my 1st - 4th grade students. Games are just another way to reinforce skills that they need to learn in order to become better readers. There is no doubt about it, games are fun! Kids are all about having fun. When we are having fun we are engaged, focused, happy, and excited about school.\r\n\r\nThank you for your contribution.
