Play Word Games to Practice Vocabulary

Games that feature letters and words, such as Scrabble and Boggle, are great for having fun with your child while practicing language skills.

Here are some helpful hints about playing these types of games:

• Don't worry too much about rules. Just start playing!
• Build new words and discuss their meanings with your child.
• Allow your child to use a dictionary. It's not cheating; it's helping your student build even more valuable reading skills.
• Use letter tiles from one game to play other word games. See how many words you can make out of the letters in your names, for example.
