Writing Games for 1st Graders

Learn to Write Sight Words

Teaching 1st graders the skill of writing is no walk in the park. Most kids dislike the practice of writing and find it repetitive. Teachers and parents are in constant search of stimulating ways in which they can keep the learning fun and informative at the same time. At SplashLearn, you can choose from a wide range of games and activities that can nudge your child to master the skills of literacy.

These interactive games help in strengthening the skill of spelling and writing sight words. The knowledge of sight words builds your child’s comprehension and fluency skills. The game makes use of colorful audiovisual learning aids to keep your child engaged. The player moves around and comes across different sight words jumbled up on the screen. The child has to arrange the other letters of the words on the screen in the correct sequence.

Such games help your child get well-acquainted with sight words and build their vocabulary.
