I found Wordigo Game to be exactly as advertised – an educational game that’s not so educational that it’s no fun but also not so fun that it’s not educational. Even my poorest speller begs to play. As a parent, I have to be willing to miss the completion points because I’m constantly bombarded with, ‘Mom, is this a word?’ And that’s okay because they’re spelling…and liking it!
Word Quest
Word Quest reminded me of all the times when I would be doing a word search and someone would be sitting beside me pointing to words they found before I did. This game took that principle and made it into a high energy race to find the word before your opponents. It was exhilarating and playing a regular word search hasn’t been the same since.
My son tried Jensen’s Grammar and found it to be tedious and hard to understand. I look for material that is good for self-study and this didn’t fit for us.
Language Lessons for Little Ones 1
If you want to do narration, poetry, and picture study but don’t have the time to pull it all together Language Lessons for Little Ones is a great book to use. The picture selection held my children’s interest very well and I did not have to worry about inappropriate images that are often found in art books geared to adults. I did not use the phonics portion of Language Lessons for Little Ones so I cannot comment on that, but this is a lovely book and I enjoyed using it with my sons.
