Fun & Simple Ways to
Improve Skills
  
Many people struggle with reading, spelling and math, but there are ways you can improve these skills and have fun at the same time.
Simple activities such as completing the word puzzles in the daily paper improve your language skills. Each day in our classroom the learners and Instructor
(Sandy Beckwith) complete the challenges together – they are very good at it!
You could try crossword puzzles,
Sudoku, word searches, word scrambles, or even reading comic strips.
Learning can be a fun and interactive activity: playing bingo, Scrabble, Monopoly, or any word, number or money based game will build skills while you are having fun.
Don’t forget – reading with your children – is a great way to improve your reading skills and theirs.
