Are you playing games with your kiddos? Check out the list below and the skills they strengthen!

Q: Why do you play games like Spot It and UNO at the end of your lessons? Wouldn’t my child be better off playing word games?

A: Great question!

Games like Spot It and UNO might not look like traditional literacy learning, but they play a powerful role in building executive function — the brain skills we need to learn effectively.

Executive function includes things like:
• Working memory (holding and using information)
• Attention and focus
• Impulse control
• Cognitive flexibility (switching between ideas or rules)

When children play these games, they’re practising:
✨ Tracking rules and patterns
✨ Thinking quickly and flexibly
✨ Managing frustration and emotions
✨ Taking turns and staying engaged

These skills are essential for reading and writing. For example, a child needs executive function to:
📚 Follow the sequence of sounds in a word
📚 Stay focused on a sentence
📚 Check and correct their own work

So while it might look like “just a game,” it’s actually targeted brain training — and ending sessions this way also helps children finish on a positive, fun note 💛

Learning isn’t just about what we teach — it’s about building the brain skills that make learning possible.

Some other great games for building executive function are:

🧠 Memory – strengthens working memory and attention
👀 Simon Says – builds listening skills and impulse control
⚡️ Bop It – encourages quick thinking and response inhibition
🎲 Connect 4 – supports planning, strategy, and flexible thinking
🃏 Go Fish – develops memory, turn-taking, and focus
🧩 Jenga – builds self-control, patience, and fine motor planning

The best part? These all feel like fun — but they’re quietly building the brain skills children need for reading, writing, and learning 💛

This is a great infographic explaining what dyslexia is and how it impacts individuals

We need to talk about dyslexia. So many misconceptions about dyslexia still exist and are being spread.

In 2025, the definition is clearer than ever.

It is not about intelligence.
It is not about effort.
Understanding dyslexia is the first step.

Taking action is what changes outcomes.
I created this infographic to simplify it for parents and teachers. Download it and share it with someone who needs it.
