Families can encourage reading while having fun playing board games together.
To try this literacy tactic, ask an older child to read the game instructions aloud and encourage everyone to ask questions to make sure they understand the game rules. Then, parents can encourage children to read cards or headings on the board as they play the game. Keeping score can also help children develop handwriting, spelling and counting skills.

- You're gonna do the side that has the alphabet in order.
- I will ask my oldest child Aubrey to read the instructions out loud to her little brother, Tyler.
- Quickly start putting the alphabet into their places, when the timer ends, the board will pop up.
Do you understand what to do?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- [Mother] I will help read cards or spaces on the board when Aubrey needs help, or if it seems like Tyler's having trouble understanding what to do.
If there's a scorecard for the game we're playing, I encourage the kids to help keep score, which can build handwriting skills and even spelling and counting.
- 11.
I got 11.
- Family game time is not only a great way to practice reading.
It helps us bond and helps me model good sportsmanship for our kids.
- Whoa!
