Story Flights offers a lively, full-body interactive game that helps children build the reading skills that form an essential part of their language learning process. During play children are challenged to manipulate a small dragon that flies over the mountains and collects items. Along its path, there are stops where children are asked to read (or listen) to grade level texts in order to answer questions about the text and win points. They must use clues provided by the text and remember relevant facts to respond appropriately to the prompts. By side walking and raising their hands, they can choose the correct answers to respond to who, what, when, where, and how questions.
This engaging game can enrich a reading program by helping children develop effective reading habits, enlarge their vocabulary, improve reading comprehension skills, all leading to increased overall reading engagement and motivation. Use this game to provide interactive practice for the state and national tests that use a similar format to determine reaching comprehension. At the same time, by interacting and manipulating the cute dragon, children strengthen their visual motor coordination and bilateral coordination, thus providing an additional benefit to the learning experience.
