Sight words cannot be sounded out with normal phonetic pronunciation, so playing any of Turtle Diary’s Sight Word games, like Spell the Sight Words, will help your student to find success in their reading and vocabulary skills. When you begin to read, students will need to practice their sight words again and again to gain that recall. Turtle Diary has many fun games that will help your child to practice and reinforce vocabulary and spelling skills without getting bored or feeling stressed about the process. Most of the time, children use the process of elimination to help them spell unfamiliar words. If a child spells a word wrong, he or she will have to go back and try again. Children need to think of what comes next, or what happens if they make a particular move.
Problem solving skills are another benefit of word puzzle games. It helps increase their visual attention span, while they learn important new words. During game play, children concentrate on their next move or work on solving a problem. The games keep children's attention longer than if they were reading from textbooks. Because of this, children will become more engaged in the classroom, and in turn, more successful in their future.
For example, they will know how to efficiently use a mouse and will have a basic understanding of the letters on the keyboard. By having children play games on computers at home, they will already know the basic workings of a computer. Every day, more and more technology is being brought into the classroom.
