Literacy Games
Reading is the most important tool for developing literacy, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. Our first recommendation is that you provide as much time for reading for pleasure as possible. Our school libraries have Beginning Reader collections and other resources that provide independent reading opportunities for students.
If you would like additional activities to promote early literacy development, consider the following resources. We recommend limited computer time for young students:
