Have fun with high frequency words (sight words) this Valentine's Day with this fun and easy-to-make matching game. 

When progressing to more difficult texts, writing begins to replace images and children must rely more on creating their own mental images of what is happening in a story. The more we encourage this skill in the early years, the easier it will be for children to do this independently as they begin to graduate to higher level texts.

This game helps children learn how to use letters to build words by experimenting with their sounds.

Learning new vocabulary should be a daily activity. Having a 'Word of the Day' to focus on is a good way to encourage the learning of new words.

This fun scavenger hunt focuses on the initial phonetic sound of common words. Children will have fun hunting around the house for items!

Bingo is a fun and easy game for kids. Use it to promote the recognition of initial sounds. Kids will love to try and complete a line to win!
