The self-correcting aspect of these kinds of games allows Mom to know that the child is being left with correct information.

It gives me at least a few minutes of time to get other needed things done.

In fact, the subject he doesn't like to do the most is math. Usually, it takes me about five or ten minutes to teach him how to do his assignment. Then, he's left on his own to do the work. The rest of his work, he loves to do because I pretty much have to do with him for various reasons. He JUST doesn't like to do any schoolwork that requires no supervision! Anyway, he has been diagnosed with reading delay and was having a horrible time understanding the idea of letters you use together that make a blended sound, like sh, wh, th, and others. I ended up making a game to work on teaching him how to pronounce these letter blends. I ended up coming up with three levels of play as we worked on it. The first level, he has to make the sound the blended letters make, the second level, he makes the sounds and names a word that uses that sound. The final level, he makes the sound, names a word, then uses the word in a sentence. The board has spaces with the letters on the spaces, a few of them have stuff like move back three spaces, roll again, go back to start, etc. We use one die and made it into a file folder game.We play it about once a month now but, when I first made the game about a year ago, we played it once a week. If you aren't up to making your own game, I have it on Currclick.com and it's called "Sweet Sounds of Letter Blends."Familytreeclimberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00176094262768671903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983323542746226368.post-15866289021360298192011-10-08T14:07:02.203-07:002011-10-08T14:07:02.203-07:00Self-correcting works so well for placing in a cen...Self-correcting works so well for placing in a center.
