Beginning Reading Game: Roll, Read, Write
This post may contain affiliate links.
Time to play a fun little build-a-word beginning reading game we call Roll, Read, Write.
This idea comes from the awesome new book just out called Busy Bags Kids Will Love by Sara McClure, a fellow blogging friend over at Happy Brown House. This book is packed full of 52 ideas for quiet boxes, bags and bins to keep kids busy! Â We love stuff like this, so I was excited for the chance to share this book with you. (I received a free copy in exchange for this post.)
How to Make the Roll- Read- Write Beginning Reading Game:
Use three wooden blocks and paint them three different colors. Once the paint is dry, write letters on the blocks with a permanent marker.
Write consonants on two of the blocks and on the center block write vowels.
I created a printable page to use along with the game, that you can download for free. Â However, you could also do it on any piece of paper, or on a dry erase board as she recommends in the book. Â If you use the the printable page, outline the squares using markers that match the three paint colors.
How to Play Read- Roll- Write:
To play, roll the three dice and line them up in the squares by color. Read the word out loud. Write the word on the lines. Â Decide if it is a really word or a silly (nonsense) word. Check the box for real word or silly word.
