2016-2017 Best Children’s Reading Games
In my humble opinion, anything that makes reading – and even the idea of reading – more fun is a good thing! When reading is approached as something that is enjoyable, a child’s chances for a higher literacy level are greatly increased.
With that said, reading games can give a whole new dimension to fun in reading – they are entertaining and also help to improve letter and sound recognition, as well as understanding of words.
Developing a Strong Vocabulary
is the Key to Reading Success

Over 50 parent teacher bloggers attended the EdMarket Associations's national conference to review educational products for the classroom and home. The Reading Game was picked by bloggers as the number two most popular product in show out of the top ten "Teacher Trendsetter" check out www.edexpo.com for blogger and show information!
Keep in mind that learning to read is not easy. Look at it this way: the ear is the primary organ receiving the language signal and the medium is vibrations in air. Learning to speak and hear, to send and receive these aerial vibrations comes naturally for children.
Then, at a certain stage, it becomes imperative for the child to learn a whole new way of communication. The medium is now ink marks on paper (or their digital equivalent), and the primary organ for receiving the signal is no longer the ear but the eye. Looked at in this way, learning to read, to successfully make the transition to a totally different medium, is a feat worthy of the highest praise.
They are also deserving of the best tools for the job. My daughter, Erika Bird, and I created The Reading Game. As author of the Wordly Wise vocabulary textbook series used in over 10,000 school systems in the U.S., for more than 40 years, I make the extraordinary claim that I have developed “a vaccine against illiteracy.”
The process is simple, and can teach virtually any child to read. It has been particularly successful teaching struggling readers, dyslexic, and autistic students. It works by feeding the student words in measured doses, five at a time, through game play, in a word-matching “memory” game. For each word, the aerial vibrations received by the ear match a particular set of marks on paper, and this correlation becomes locked into long-term memory. It is rote learning in a new form, through play. That’s why I call my learn-to-read program The Reading Game. Students never get bored or disheartened; the game is over in just a few minutes.
Once the first five words are locked into long-term memory, the process is repeated five more times. Now the student knows 30 words and is able to read the 32-page book that tells the tale of a skunk who is rejected, finds acceptance and ultimately triumphs. The student will read the story without stumbling or hesitation because it is told using only the 30 words hard-wired into long-term memory. By the time the student has finished the series, the student has learned 180 vocabulary words, many of them hard-to-learn Dolch sight words, and will have successfully read six full-length storybooks.
Kenneth Hodkinson has taught English from elementary to college level in the U.S., Canada, and England. He is the author of the educational vocabulary text book series, Wordly Wise. He is also author of the learn-to-read game The Reading Game, now in its second edition.

Erika Bird was standing in front of a table ready to demonstrate The Reading Game at the Toy Fair in New York when I first met her. Could The Reading Game be about reading, I wondered. Yes, Bird said, when I asked. I have a five-year-old, I explained. And an eight year old. I know BOB books like they’re going out of style. Her system was an alternative to BOB, she said, when I told her of my children’s devotion to the early reader books created by a teacher named Bobby Lynn Maslen.
And The Reading Game was invented by Bird’s father, Kenneth Hodkinson, known for his Wordly Wise vocabulary series.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/
To publish the 2nd edition of their award-winning learn to read program, “The Reading Game,” a San Diego based father/daughter business came up with an innovative way to raise funds for printing costs AND help children in need through a national literacy non-profit.
Partnering with First Book, the “Give the Gift of Early Literacy” campaign was launched yesterday on the crowd-funding site Indiegogo.com.
Kenneth Hodkinson, the author of The Reading Game, is also the author of the best-selling Wordly Wise series of vocabulary builders. Encompassing all grades from K through 12, Wordly Wise is the gold standard in vocabulary development and is used in over 10,000 school systems in the United States, including many of the country’s most elite schools.
Working with his daughter, Erika Bird, The Reading Game was first launched two years ago. Thousands of parents and over 150 school systems now use “The Reading Game” in their classrooms and over 30 retailers stock the game in stores across the United States. ”The Reading Game” is used internationally in Singapore, Bermuda, The Philippines, Korea, Australia, England,Canada, New Zealand, etc.. It’s won four awards including the Dr Toy Best Picks for Children’s Products, The Tillywig Brain Child Award, Homeschool.com’s Seal of Approval and Top Educational Gift Pick of 2011, and The Family Review Center’s Gold Award. The game was also featured on national TV in a news piece on developing literacy through game play with National Association of Elementary School Principals.
As a small, family business poised to make the jump to the next level and publish a second, enhanced edition of their game, they needed additional capital to make it happen. In making that jump, they also wanted to do good by helping build the foundations of literacy for children residing in some of the hardest economically hit regions of the country. Indiegogo.com allows projects to raise funds AND make charitable donations.
The “Give the Gift of Early Literacy Campaign” will help offset the printing costs of the 2nd edition AND donate much needed learn-to-read materials to some of the millions of children served by First Book. For every $25 pledged, First Book will receive a copy of “The Reading Game” to provide to a child in need. This $25 can be met through $1, $5 or $25 donations. When pledging at the $25 level, the backer can choose to receive their own pre-release copy of the game at $10.00 off retail or donate the game to First Book. There are also deeply discounted retailer reward levels for wholesale purchases of the games. The campaign runs through December 4th.
About First Book: First Book is a non-profit social enterprise that has distributed more than one hundred million books and educational resources to programs and schools serving children from low-income families throughout the United States andCanada.

The Reading Game is honored with a 2012 Tillywig Brain Child of the Year Award
"This is a remarkable game - fun, fast-paced, and highly effective at helping kids learn to read. It consists of six illustrated storybooks, each of which is accompanied by a deck of cards containing the 30 words used in the book's story. Before opening a book, a series of 6 simple word-matching games is played with its corresponding deck during which the student becomes familiar with the book's words. Each game moves quickly, with a winner every few seconds. Only once the student can read all 30 words without hesitation is the book brought into play. The student then experiences the pride and sheer pleasure of successfully reading the story. The games within each deck, and the decks and books themselves, are used in a specified sequence that makes the process unfurl in a highly systematic way that feels utterly natural, leading to a pleasurable experience for both student and tutor. The stories themselves, while purposefully simple, are professionally written and highly entertaining. Excellent!' - The Tillywig Brain Child Award Judging Panel Review, 2012.

NEW PRESS RELEASE
When Kenneth Hodkinson first developed his “vaccine against illiteracy,” he followed a long-standing tradition by testing it first on a member of his own family, his granddaughter Ashleen. The Reading Game's results exceeded Ken’s best hopes: Ashleen, while not yet in kindergarten, learned to read in just over a week. But, of course, the tests that really count are the ones carried out independently, without bias, and with the participants having no stake in the outcome. They’re called field trials.
The opportunity for such field trials came when the San Luis Obispo Family Care Network in California agreed to try out The Reading Game. Its website describes FCN as a private, non-profit children and families services provider. Established in 1987 for the purpose of creating family-based treatment programs as an alternative to group home or institutional care for children and youth, the agency now operates multiple, accredited programs designed to strengthen and preserve families and individuals. In its more than twenty-year history, FCN has grown to serve over 2,000 children, youth and families annually in San Luis Obispo and Santa Barbara counties. Many of those served by FCN are handicapped by poor and undeveloped reading skills.
Jay Turner is the education coordinator at FCN and thought that The Reading Game might have a role to play in the agency’s efforts to improve the reading ability of those falling behind. He established a number of tutor/student partnerships. Each tutor was given a copy of The Reading Game and allowed to proceed without any interference and with the sole requirement to provide a brief report on the “learn to read” program’s effectiveness.
Here are a few excerpts from reports from schools in California’s Central Coast which participated in the field study:
“The cards offered many opportunities to play different games. We played Go Fish
and a Memory Matching game.”
“My student was anxious
to get to the next book.”
“Directly after the game,
the learning curve was sharp.”
“I found the game to be a phenomenal tool for memory and reading. There is nothing I would change about the game.”
The Reading Game has also proved effective in helping to boost confidence and literacy skills in children who have had a difficult time learning to read. The feedback below is from the tutor of a student who is a fourteen-year-old male.
“Although he was in the 8th grade, his STAR reading scores showed that he had a first-grade reading level. He loved The Reading Game, which is amazing since he has never had success at reading before. I think he liked it so much because of the success he had with the game and books. He really liked everything about it. He said, ‘It was fun, easy, and I really liked the short stories. Thanks for letting me try it.’ The only thing that wasn’t perfect was that the student resisted any kind of testing. He just wouldn’t do anything that resembled a test, but I know that he learned new words. All in all it worked wonderfully. He would
love to have continued with more of the same.”
From this great start the field studies were expanded for The Reading Game. We included day care centers, home schooling parents, kindergarten teachers working with mainstream children, and those working with kids who are struggling with learning to read. With that in mind, we sent requests for participants for the field study all over the USA. Below is a sampling of the feedback we received about The Reading Game.
“We’ve been playing a new game at our house called The Reading Game (it’s put out by the author of Wordly Wise — which I really LIKE a lot!) and we both enjoy playing AND learning as we play. This was the easiest set-up for a game and a fantastic way to improve reading skills. I KNEW that The Reading Game would be a good fit for our family. Kenneth Hodkinson has another great success with it!...”

“As a Mom with three active children…one thing that is a MUST for me is: anything that comes into our home must be a good value and be self contained. I truly can not handle anything that has poor craftsmanship. This game definitely fits the bill. The box is sturdy, the cards are made to last and the books capture my little guy’s attention. Truth-be-known…his big sister (who is eight) has been enjoying the games, too! … I give The Reading Game two thumbs up. And….I’ll let you in on a secret….I have had my 8 and 9 year old play with the little guy “to help Mommy” some nights while I cook dinner. What they did not realize is that…it was helping them with their reading, as well! ....”

We look for those words when we are out, on menus or signs, even on labels. We hunt for them inside books. They are being locked into his memory, and that is evidenced by squeals from the back seat as we drive around town doing errands, squeals that nearly make me levitate”…Read the full review: Jeremiah is learning to read | ~ a teaching heart

“My son has benefited tremendously from The Reading Game. He loves playing the matching game and it is a great way to get him learning words. My son was so proud the first time he read book # 1 - he couldn't wait to begin the next set of flash cards so he could read the second book. I love that the books tell interesting stories. Many of the beginner reading books he brings home from school are boring in comparison. He has also learned more challenging words by doing the flash cards. It is much better to see and learn the words on the flashcards first, rather than seeing them in a book and getting frustrated by not knowing them. It’s been a fun way to learn.”

"Sometimes you find a company that just 'gets it!' That is what we have
here. The creators of The Reading Game 'get it!' Making reading fun and easy encourages those who are new to it and reluctant even, to begin on the journey and not look back. It is a nice, comprehensive set, that is easy to understand and use right out of the box. This is great to have for at home, a preschool or a learning center at your kindergarten class."
