 Reading Games for Young Children
 Winner Parent Media Award
The games in this book are designed to enrich three- to six-year-olds’ pre-reading skills and prepare them to be successful readers. Eleven chapters are organized by elements of literacy, such as alliteration, alphabet, letter sounds, and rhyming. The book also provides research-based information on the importance of literacy development in young children. These games will develop a love for language and joy of reading. Each activity in the book is engaging and creative, and notes the specific skills addressed by the activity.
Teaching literacy and pre-reading skills is very important to parents and teachers, and Reading Games makes learning fun. These games require little preparation and few materials. The order of the chapters is designed to follow the way children learn pre-reading skills; children learn the letters of the alphabet by sight and sound, then hear the phonemes, then are able to hear rhymes and parts of words (segments). The format of the activities allows parents and teachers to open the book to any page and do an activity, without involved preparation or gathering of materials.
