To make learning to read a little easier you need to try out some phonics games for kidsLearning to read is not easy and it takes
time, so to make it more interesting we need some phonics
games for kids On the internet there are a number of sites that have
phonics games that kids will love to play The best phonic game sites that my kids like to play are Starfall
and Genkienglish, a site out of Japan in English. There are many other
phonic game sites to teach kids phonics including, the PBS kids
site, Game
Goo, Scholastic and
Sadlier-Oxford. Some of these phonic games are
relatively simple but they all help to implant the phonics sounds onto
your child’s mind. Other phonics games your kids might like are games
you can play with phonic cards, or my favorite, which is using the
Montessori sandpaper letters to make up words. You say a word or phonic
sound and your child has to find the correct letters. Phonic games you
play with your child are probably better, as you can make up the words or
sounds that your child knows. Therefore tailor making the games to suit
what your child already knows. I don’t like to let my kid play games on
the computer as it can be quite difficult to get the kids off the
computer. Anyway nowadays I think kids spend too much time on the computer
and I try to discourage it. That is why I prefer games with cards and
sandpaper letters. These are easy games and they can be quite fun, like
matching phonic sounds. Anyway you can start playing the game on the
computer until your child has mastered the phonic sound then move onto
cards or sandpaper letters. For the phonics courses and a Montessori course I recommend see our teach reading page
