My Project

Students of all ages love games. Using phonics and reading games to enhance learning engages students with the skills they need to acquire as well as to learn to work collaboratively with their peers. Educational games are wonderful because they inspire students to work on their comprehension and phonetic skills in a fun way. They are learning while they play and they may not even realize it.

Learning games have many benefits to students.

Games are perfect for student-centered learning centers. It gives students the opportunity to work on reading skills while they learn taking turns and problem solving strategies. It's important for children to learn and practice these skills that they will need in life.
