Board Games For Kids That Teach Reading |MyKidsGuide.com

We have pulled together an awesome list of Board Games For Kids That Teach Reading. As your kids hit the preschool age where letter and number recognition is now on your list of things to work on, you are likely trying to come up with some great options for ways to teach them.  There are tons of popular programs out there, books to read and of course homeschool lessons dedicated to teaching your kids to read.  However, we have found one of the best and most fun ways to teach kids is by playing games that they enjoy. Instead of buying the traditional board games this year for Christmas, why not tuck a few of these under the tree to not only have fun, but help them begin learning those common sight words and more!

BOARD GAMES FOR KIDS THAT TEACH READING

This post contains affiliate links. Thank you for the support.

Super Why ABC Letter Game:  You can’t go wrong with this game made around the PBS Kids program of the same name.  Not only will kids recognize their favorite show and the characters on it, the game helps them use logic and critical thinking to figure out the answers all while learning how to read!

Spelligator Board Game   This is such a great fun game!  Not only does it help sound out words, learn new word combinations and entertain, it is made with totally cool alligator like pieces. Kids of all ages will have fun with this, but perfect for the younger crowd that is just beginning to learn how to read.

Brain Quest Game:  There are many different games available outside this simple board game. Flip cards, flash cards and more under the Brain Quest Game name.  They come in different levels that are perfect for your kids education level.  Preschool and younger education years include simple images with text below to help associate words with their meaning.

Boggle Jr. Your Preschooler’s First Boggle Game (1998) This fun game is perfect for teaching kids some common sight words.  Tons of great simple words that they will use in their natural vocabulary.

ThinkFun Zingo:  Much like Bingo, this game is perfect for kids to learn to recognize words by associating them with pictures.  This fun game has dozens of common items on the cards with text words below each image.  It’s great for preschool and early grade levels.

Whether you are wanting to introduce reading for the first time or simply help encourage it outside of the classroom, this list of Board Games For Kids That Teach Reading is a great place to start.  All of these games are perfect for an afternoon of fun game playing with the kids.

Add to your holiday gift list, or surprise your kids with one of them this week as a special treat.  Play together as a family, or encourage siblings to work together to test out their favorite games and learn new things.

    I think all children should be helped to develop their reading skills as early as possible. Reading also helps them with spelling later on. Anything that helps and makes it fun for the kids is very positive I feel. 🙂
