14 Games to Motivate Your Child to Read....BEFORE They Head Back to School

Updated: Aug 21, 2021

Using games to motivate your child to read BEFORE they head back to school will not only improve their reading skills, these games also bring fun and play into reading practice that can often be a struggle and sometimes boring!


Rather than bribing kids with external motivators such as candy, stickers, and online gaming time, our hard copy reading games motivate children's internal interests and get them reading BEFORE they head back to school!





Reading Games Are Necessary for Struggling Readers


When learning to read is a struggle, it can have a major impact on a child's academic self-esteem and their motivation to read independently. In addition, more work on something that does not come easily can feel torturous and often unfair! In contrast, if fun, rewarding games can motivate them to read, and the dreaded task can quickly transform into playful entertainment.


I have created two comprehensive reading game bundles that can be used with virtually any Systematic phonics or reading program. They are all available as digital downloads for PreK-Gr 1 and Grade 2 and 3 . The following tables describe all 14 games that are included in the two bundles of 7. The games are significantly discounted in the bundled packages or you can buy them individually at www.EarlyReadersAcademy.ca


Reading Games PreK-Grade 1, offers 7 games that teach and review early reading skills for new and struggling readers to improve their reading. The games focus on vowels, beginning, middle, and end sounds in words to help with decoding and motivate them to engage in more reading practice and develop stronger skills and fluency in a fun, motivating way. They will want to play these games again and again all the while reinforcing reading skills making them a better reader!!
