Build interest in reading with games<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reading can be difficult for people with Down Syndrome, and there is often a significant delay in reading ability. People with Down syndrome can and do learn to read. It is a skill that needs to be developed into adulthood. Games are a good way to teach reading skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Games to teach reading<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I am always on the lookout for games that teach reading skills.\u00a0 I found this game by Discovery Toys, Word Flip<\/a>. It is sort of like Wheel of Fortune, where you flip tiles to find the letters behind them and guess a word. In this game, instead of a wheel to spin there are two dice. You roll the dice and choose to either add or subtract the two to get to the number tile to flip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to play<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Flip all the tiles up. Put in a word card. Each person takes turns rolling the dice. You can add or subtract the dice to determine which tile you will flip down. Once you flip a tile, you will either see a letter or blank space. When enough tiles are flipped, the player can choose to guess the word before his turn. The player who guess the word right first wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
