skills are all covered in this set of free educational games for kids. If you like them, consider a subscription to

A great site to check out with some great games!
In case you missed last week’s video: Here is a little video the Prep teachers shared last year with our
parents about how to tell when your child is ready for testing on their words or letters. You may find it
helpful to have a listen, especially the part about sounding the sight words out.
