When I was growing up, my dad turned everything into a game. When he wanted us
to recite facts, he made up a game called "Going to Heaven." He made a trail
of newspapers through the house. We stood on the first one, and he asked us
a question. If we answered correctly, we hopped to the next paper and so on to
the end of the trail or "Heaven." Of course, there was always a treat
at the end.
When my children are learning to read, I put their new words on great big
flashcards. We play a game that is like "Mother, May I?" I stand on one side of
the room with the cards. Each time the child reads one correctly, he takes
one step forward. When he reaches me, he gets a big hug. Then it is his turn
to be "it." He holds up the words and I read them and move forward a step
at a time. It is a simple concept, but it is much more fun and rewarding
for the child than simply reading the words off of flashcards.
