Game-based Resources Not long ago, I read an article about a game-based classroom and was intrigued. I have started my own collection of game-based web resources. Nothing can replace a qualified and caring teacher. Some of these games are best meant for review, after the child has had a lesson and explanation, but many of these games are games that also teach. For maximum success, an adult should introduce the game to the child (either a parent or tutor sitting next to them at the computer or a teacher using a projector and modeling) and be prepared to step in if the child has trouble. Select an area below, and begin the fun. Phonemic Awareness and Phonics Compound Words, Affixes, and Roots Alphabetical Order and Dictionary Skills |
