Reading has been a challenge for many. The comprehension for reading has become even a problem among most adults. This challenge is becoming a nationwide problem. Reading needs to be addressed in the early stages of childhood. The sooner the reading comprehension problems are dressed, the better.

This article will express six games to help children and adults to improve their reading skills. Games were created to help all aspects of learning difficulties. Games give learning a more fun and interesting twist.

Game #1: Bingo is a classic game enjoyed by thousands. Bingo has been used in many different variations. Blank game cards can either be printed off the internet or created yourself. The object of this version is to choose simple words for each letter of the word, bingo. Instead of numbers use simple words, such as where, when, why or how. Whoever has a "bingo," wins the game. The winning prize can be anything of your choosing.

Game #2: A misspelled word game will help to improve the quality of the child or an adult's reading. The instructor who is giving the game can create a list of misspelled words. The child or children who is playing the game will try to find the correct spelling. The winner of the game can win a prize. A misspelled word will help those with poor reading skills to recognize the spelling.

Game #3: Reading skills have become widely popular among teachers and parents. A list of words from a children's book that is currently being read, should be created. How will this assist in improving the skills of reading? It is quite simple. For example, if the book, "The Three little pigs," is the chosen book. A list of words such as pigs, wolf and house should be given to the child before the book is read. Every night the child or children should practice the list of words. At the end of the reading, a test should be given on spelling and other variations. A daily quiz can be given to further enrich their skills.
