5 Engaging Reading Games for Kids to Boost Their Literacy Skills

Fun spelling games for kids to help enhance literacy

Do your kids know how to spell their names? It’s the first word we spell! Alphabets are the foundation of the English language. Speaking, writing, communicating, and reading start with learning the alphabet letters. 

The English Alphabet has 26 letters. Each of them has its special shape and sound. Kids learn the alphabet to understand how words form. Once your kid recognizes letters and their sounds, they can spell words and develop their sentences. 

Learning how to spell is a process that can start at a young age. Fun spelling games for kids make the experience fun, fresh, and enjoyable. These games nurture their creativity and focus on special skills that can make a difference in the learning experience. 

Keeping your kid’s age in mind, SKIDOS educators have made the most out of the learning process and have created a list of 5 engaging reading games to boost your kid’s literacy skills.
