Blog postMy children love bowling, which is the inspiration behind our newly updated Sight Word game.
Build the triangle bowling pins by cutting them out, folding and taping them together. Line them up and let your little ones bowl them over with table tennis balls. When they knock the pins over, they get a chance to score points by reading the Sight Words on the two-sided triangle pins.

Blog postA few weeks ago, I shared some ideas on celebrating your child's reading progress.
