There are many different games on the market you can use to make your child’s spelling and reading homework more fun. Here are some of our recommendations to parents for helping their kids with their word recognition skills while broadening their word and vocabulary base:

• Balderdash
• UpWords
• Travel Scrabble
• Boggle
• Bananagrams
• Apple letters
• Pair in Pears
• MadGad
• Word Teasers
• Sidewalk Chalk
• Race Track

Parents can also adapt these traditional store bought games to help their kids learn specific lessons. Look at your child’s homework and see what games might be most helpful and what you may need to adapt, limit, or expand in the rules of the game to make it relevant to where they are at. Think outside the game box so there is more joy in learning for everybody!!!
