Family Literacy Groups Inc. (a 501 C 3) introduces a comprehensive online program designed for brand-new readers.

The lessons are interactive, phonics-based, public school-proven, fun for kids and free. It is not a demo or a trial. The Reading Game is the brainchild of the creative team at Family Literacy Groups, dedicated to helping children learn to read.

The creative team at Family Literacy Groups transformed the Phoenix Reading System used in more than 6,000 schools today and more in over 25 years into a 21st Century learning tool. In addition to learning basic words, children also learn some basic computer navigation skills.

The Reading Game consists of 44 short lessons introducing a child's first 55 reading words. Following each lesson, the child plays various games to reinforce the words taught in the lesson. The lessons and games feature child-appealing repetitions which reinforces the learning process. The program also contains a "report card" to monitor achievement.  

The Reading Game creators estimate the game can be completed within 6 months, although some children will sail through much more quickly. Family Literacy Group offers to find extra help for parents and teachers of children who are having problems finishing the lessons.

Approximately 72,000 children have played the game so far. Based on that, educators at Family Literacy Groups estimate the lessons can easily be completed within 6 months.

The Reading Game provides students with the basic skills and confidence that has launched tens of thousands of students on a lifetime of reading success.

It is a FREE site and participation is encouraged for preschoolers as well as kindergarten and first graders, and older children who need remedial help. The site can be found at www.learntoreadfree.com.
