This set of 35 games will provide you with a variety of literacy materials to send home with your students! The games are designed to help students practice reading and phonics skills, as well as engage families in a fun learning experience.
All of the games have clear instructions for parents. The majority of the games come with several different options for parent instruction sheets. You can choose sheets with or without visual aids, and with or without a request for students to do the cutting / prep work at home. When applicable, these games also have parent instructions in Spanish (all playing materials are in English).
In addition to the written instructions, many of the parent instruction sheets also come with a link to a brief video. These videos give directions and tips for playing the game.
