Reading Games

When is a game just a game and when does playing a game actually become a learning experience?  Or in the case of reading when does a reading game become digital educational therapy?

The answer to that question is really quite simple.

When structured and sequential reading activities are combined with an entertaining game then that game becomes educational.  This is true of literacy games, spelling games and reading games in general.

The more an online reading game is played the more the skill or information that it is teaching, such as reading comprehension exercises or reading strategies become ingrained on the player and the higher their skill level will become.

Reading games can be an effective way of teaching reading skills thereby helping children get the reading comprehension and speed they need.

An excellent way to find out if digital educational therapy in the form of reading games is a good choice for you is to take a dyslexia test or reading evaluation test.  These can be found online at sites such as www.edugamestar.com and are helpful in determining if reading interventions and digital educational therapy are appropriate for you.

Think of it as going to the gym for your reading skills.
