Building Reading Skills with Legos
Do you have children or students who love playing and working with Legos? If so, did you know they are learning while they work through a Lego set? My five-year old daughter received her first Lego set for her birthday, and she wanted to dive right in. BUT, we had to go over some Lego "rules" first. These same rules apply to reading, and this gave us both a great way to start on the right path to reading.Starting in the Right Place
When I first started working on the set with her, she was only looking at the final product on step 12. I helped her start at the beginning. This helped her to understand that we need to begin at the beginning of a book for it to make sense.Left to Right Progression
Basic Reading Comprehension
She learned to read the pages. She read the pictures to know how many of each piece she needed and where it went. She did most of this on her own and is quite proud of it.
Though she wasn't reading any words, she learned some important concepts about reading and print. Now we are ready to start tackling the words.
