Story Comprehension
Reading is about more than just sounding out a word at a time. It's about being able to read full sentences and understand what they say together. And it's about being able to recall something read two or three sentences (or paragraphs or pages) before.

Letter Sounds
Before kids can string words together, they first have to learn what sounds each letter makes. Drawing a correlation between those sounds and the sounds that appear in words is one of the first steps in reading.

Word Scramble
Word scrambles are a great way for kids to figure out how words go together! Even better, by giving them visual context clues, you can help them along the way and strengthen their spelling skills.
