Brain Builders: Reading and Language, Grade 1- Interactive Game

Motivate children to practice key language and reading skills with interactive theme-based activities. Each of the 12 skill-based categories includes audio reinforcement, two levels of difficulty, and a varying progression of tasks to keep children engaged and challenged.

Interactive activities include matching rhyming pairs, sorting parts of a sentence, and building compound words. Plus, audio accompanies every activity to support children with word and sound pronunciation and to provide direction.

The first grade level covers the following standards-aligned reading and language concepts:

• Decoding short vowel word families
• Categorizing parts of a sentence
• Identifying rhyming pairs
• Identifying singular and plural nouns
• Counting the number of syllables in a word
• Alphabetizing words to the first letter
• Distinguishing between real and make-believe
• Practicing subject-verb agreement
• Identifying the two words that form a compound word
• Identifying complete sentences
• Sequencing events to make a sensible story
• Choosing a predictable ending to a sentence

Additional features include:

• Progress updates: children can see their progress through each of the categories.
• Awards: children can earn a personalized sticker, printable on standard Avery labels, after completing a level.
• Audio reinforcement: amusing sounds correspond to successful completion of tasks or activities to keep children engaged.
• Flexible use: adaptable for whole-class or small-group collaborative learning, as well as for individual enrichment at a classroom computer or at home.
