Early reader Tic-Tac-Toe

6 reading activities to encourage reluctant readers to engage. Similar to Tic-Tac-Toe, the child and teacher take turns to decode and blend simple sentences until they have three in a row. Useful for disguising reading as a fun game. With simple icons to support and provide hints, you could play this game with counters or ask the child to colour the matching picture once they have read it. This could also support fine motor skills and pencil grip.
