Word Games with Niki

In the first games of an area, everyday vocabulary (e.g. colours, animals or fruit) recapped and practiced in a variety of ways. The words are discovered individually through play and pronounced frequently and clearly so that children are able to start decoding independently.

In the subsequent games, the newly learned words are sorted, rearranged or connected. Especially in this phase, your child has the freedom to make mistakes and puzzle. (Here, too, your child is only confronted with a small number of words in order to be able to remember them particularly well).

All of our mini-games include verbal instructions and story lines, encouraging active listening and focus. Children can also listen to key pieces of vocabulary to support word reading.

Comprehension is a vital part of reading, as well as being able to decode to read words, children need to understand what they have read or what has been read to them. These mini-games develop comprehension through vivid story lines and encouraging children to follow instructions independently.
