Pet Games: Held every fourth year, the Olympic Games present the world's most important athletic contests. Amateur athletes of many nations compet gamese in a wide variety of sports divided into Summer Olympic Games and Winter Olympic Games. The Games are held each time in a different city of the world.
In the way of practical help, suggest games that could be played at home (e.g. word bingo or a cloze game where children fill in missing words or phrases), explaining the particular value of games to a child with reading problems -namely that they're fun and so don't seem too much like hard work, and also that they have a useful repet gamesitive, reinforcing function. When you recommend a game, try to explain just how it is designed to help. There are booklets and pamphlets available, which give ideas for games that can easily be made and played at home (e.g. Hip Pocket Spelling Games series, New York, Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1983). |
