Reading Games

	Lower School Reading On this site students can play reading games, build words, read stories, and listen to stories.
	Reading Bear Reading Bear teaches children to read by introducing phonics principles painlessly and systematically, while teaching new vocabulary.
	One More Story Listen to stories that are read aloud, or read one by yourself! (Parents: This site requires a family subscription. Our school subscription can only be used from Pike, alas!)
	Starfall: Learn To Read Students learn letter sounds, vowel sounds, and consonant blends. Some activities include simple stories that students can read.
	Starfall: It's Fun to Read These activities require that students read the instructions and then play the games. As an aid, students can click specific words to hear them.
	Starfall: I'm Reading! Students read online stories. In some stories, students can hear the sentences by clicking an "ear" icon next to the sentence. In other stories, students must read the sentences but can click specific words in the story to hear them.
	Reggie Given an initial word, students must select other words that rhyme with it.
	Clifford's Letter Match Students are shown two bins labeled with a letter (e.g., bin m or bin n). They must drag words beginning with matching letters into the bins. As they drag, the computer speaks the word.
	Puppy Letters Students see and hear a sentence read aloud. In “easy mode”, one word of the sentence appears dim; in “hard” mode, one word is shown as blank lines for each letter. Students must drag letters from a list at the bottom of the screen atop the dimmed or missing word
	Gawain's World Students see and hear initial consonants and ending blends animated so that they collide to create a word.
	Fuzzy Lion Ears (PBS Lions) Fuzzy Lion Ears asks students to identify what letter is missing in a word that is spoken to them (they choose from a list).
	Word Search Students see a grid of squares each containing one letter. They must locate the consecutive squares in the grid that spell a given list of words.
	Story Scramble Students see three comic book frames containing words and pictures. They must read or listen to the frames and then put them in the proper sequence.
	Comic Creator Students can create their own comic strips by choosing a background, character, and props. They can write the dialogue, too!
