Reading Development Through Games

Reading Development Through Games

Reading comprehension flourishes when children engage with text through meaningful interaction rather than passive consumption.

Board games create natural contexts where reading becomes purposeful—decoding rules, understanding card text, and navigating game narratives all require active comprehension skills without feeling like traditional instruction.

When children experience reading as integral to activities they genuinely enjoy, comprehension improves naturally as their motivation transforms from external obligation to intrinsic curiosity.

Research consistently shows that game-based approaches develop not only technical reading skills but also deeper comprehension capacities like inference, prediction, and contextual understanding—all while creating memorable social experiences that reinforce the joy of literacy.
