Play a phonics scavenger hunt no matter where you are. This game will have your child sounding out words and finding letter sounds in the objects around them.

Encourage your child to compare and contrast a wide variety of autumn-themed items by weighing various objects and recording their findings.

You've probably played the game "I Spy." It's perfect for long car rides. But with a little tweaking, the game can also help kids practice syllables.

This alphabet hunt is pure pirate-loving fun. And it gives kids practice in learning to recognize letters and sounds-- a key skill for reading readiness.
