Learn-to-Read Treasure Hunts: 50 Skill-Building Games for Beginning Readers and Their Parents Book

What's more fun than a treasure hunt? Few other activities offer such excitement and challenge, or the wonderful sense of accomplishment. Now, imagine a treasure hunt that encourages your kids to start reading. From the author of Games for Reading comes the perfect learning aid for beginning readers and their parents. This book, featuring 50 treasure hunt games, provides weeks of family fun, and enables busy parents to help their kids become better readers. There's a new treasure hunt every day, each consisting of three or four clues. Every perforated page is a written clue that parents tear off, fold, hide, leading to familiar items and places in the home-from the fridge to the bed to the bathtub. As kids sharpen their reading skills, hunts become progressively more difficult. A bonus phonics game on the back of the final clue reinforces what kids learned that day. Learn-to-Read Treausre Hunts works no matter what method of teaching is being used at school. It succeeds because it combines basal, phonics, and whole language techniques with a powerful motivating strategy-fun! As an added incentive, the book is packaged with two sheets of two-color, die-cut reward stickers that parents can use to commend their child when he or she has successfully completed a hunt. Each clue has been vetted by at least three reading specialists, insuring that the words, pictures, scope, and sequence are all appropriate for emerging readers. Keeping in mind that all kids learn and progress differently, Learn-to-Read-Treasure Hunts enables parents to help their own child learn to read-and, more importantly-love to read.Read More
