Gameschooling ELA
Games can be a highly effective way to help children learn. Using games to teach or practice concepts can increase engagement, motivation, and fun! They also allow children to move at their own pace, drilling as much or as little as they need without feeling like they’re drilling at all.
For English Language Arts (ELA) learning, many game options are focused on spelling, vocabulary, sentence building, wordplay, and storytelling. Here are a few to get you started.
Upwords is a twist on the classic scrabble game where you can build and change words vertically.
Dabble is a fast-paced, competitive spelling and word unscramble game
Grammar Wise lets kids learn sentence building by matching words to their parts of speech.
Wordical challenges kids apply their knowledge of vowels and consonants to build the biggest words they can
Storycubes encourage kids and parents to get creative with storytelling

Snap it Up helps young ones practice their phonics, blends, and word building through fast paced fun.
