These videos highlight different reading strategies, activities, and games that you can do with your children at home. 

Grades K-2: Race to Erase

Write words, letters or spelling patterns on a tray (or plastic plate) using a dry erase marker. Then add a wind up toy on top. If your child can read the word (or identify the letter or sounds) the toy stops closest to, they can erase it from their tray. The goal is to have no words (spelling patterns or letters) left on their board at the end. Click on the picture to learn how to play!
