Free Printable Reading Games, Online Spelling and Reading Games
Parents,
does it worry you how much your kids play phone or online games? Do you worry
that their reading skills will stagnate if they play too many online games?
Well, here's a workaround--turn them on to online word games for kids and
Internet reading games. Here are free online games for kids, including word
games, reading games and spelling games. These reading games can be played on
computers or cellphones. Teachers, use these online games for kids to boost not
only reading skills, but spelling, grammar, syntax, vocabulary and writing
skills. Playing online word games helps visual tracking, perceptual acuity and
typing skills, too.
No
matter how educational free online games for kids are, parents should still
limit time spent gaming. 15-20 minutes of play between tasks is fine. Two hours
sitting at the computer or playing on their phones is too much. Gaming should
also be done in proportion to outside time and physical activity. For every
hour spent on the computer, at play or work, there should be an equal amount of
active time. So, here are the best educational free online games for kids to
improve reading skills.

skills playing these crazy fun word games. These spelling games teach kids

games combine the concepts of Boggle and Yahtzee. Players have limited time
make words from a set of letters but they can only earn points in one
category-- 3-letter, 4-letter, 5-letter and so on. The trick with these
spelling games is to figure out which letter combinations offer the most of any
given word length and then make only words of that length.
