Learning Games for Literacy Skills Have you tried our learning games? They are designed to support your child's language development and readiness for school. Each of the ten bilingual gamesfocuses on a different skill or concept. The colorful game bag zips open to become a gameboard, and includes a book, die, and movers, as well as ideas for other fun ways to practice the skill. You'll find the learning games hanging above the children's audiobooks, and they check out for one week.
