Melissa, Hi! I have the Frog Reading games and they are great! My students love to "play" them, and I teach second and third grade EBD students. I have never thought about using them as a "family activity". I am going to try that this year, and maybe design a feedback form for the parents to complete to verify that it was used. Thanks for the great idea.

I purchased take-home literacy games from the Frog Learning Company. The students take home the games to play with a family member. I will be implementing this program in the fall, and I believe it will be successful. It is a great way to involve family members while working on specific literacy skills.
