Reading Links

Welcome to my reading page! cool I have the different reading skills you can work on highlighted in yellow.  When you go below each skill you will see a short description of how to play the game and a link to the website to play.  The easiest way to play the game is to right click on the link and chose "open in a new window".  That way when you are done the game you will still have this website open.

 

PREFIXES, SUFFIXES, AND BASE WORDS

When you go to the website and click on the one you want to work with first.  You can choose "prefixes", "suffixes", or "base words" to work on.  Once you choose then it will show you different games you can play.
