Some Reading Games & Activities for the Kids!

We were recently invited by Rosetta Stone to try out their new Kids Reading Program and share how we encourage literacy and practice reading skills in our home. We really just incorporate great books and reading into our daily routine; sounding out letters and new words on road signs, reading recipes with the kids in the kitchen, snuggling on the couch with a great new Usborne book! But my kids also love their technology time after a busy day at school, so Rosetta Stone’s Kids Reading Program has been a nice way to work on reading, too. And once in awhile we play a fun reading game or activity that we find among our favorite blogs. (Check out a bunch of fun reading games and activities at the end of this post!)

More About Rosetta Stone Reading

Did you know that more than 47% of kids are below reading level for their age? With just some more attention to words in our environment, reading at home, and playing some of the games above, we could solve that. But Rosetta Stone wants to help, too! They’ve recently partnered with literacy experts at Lexia Learning to create their Kids Reading Program. Rosetta Kids Reading is designed to help children ages 3-7 get a jump-start on their education and develop core literacy skills in a fun and effective way. Priscilla (my Kindergartner) has been using it a bit after school – while her older brother finishes his homework – to keep her reading skills up to par. And many days, Sawyer (who’s in grade 2) will join her to watch the fun after he’s done, too. The interactive reading games and colorful animation draw them in and making learning to read fun and easy!

The kids get a kick out of the Lingo characters that they use throughout the program:

“Wherever you see the Lingos, imagination, creativity and adventure are close by. Lingos love to tell stories, and kids join them on many skill-building adventures—like sounding out words, matching rhyming pairs, reading comprehension, and more! Lingos make great travel guides—and you can always trust them to introduce new skills, offer encouragement, provide gentle corrections, and share rewards!”

And I love that their reading adventures take them to different parts of the world, too!
