Rotten Banana DIY Reading Game

"A fantastically fun DIY reading game for young kids who are just learning to read. It’s easy to make with the downloadable fruit template (for bananas, pears, apples and oranges) and five levels of sight words based on the Dolch word lists. You can also customize the game to your child's needs with lists of words they find more difficult. Take turns picking bananas and reading the words on them. Just hope you don’t get a rotten one! Kids love this game and don’t even feel like they’re practicing their reading skills!"
