Reading is a blast... we'll prove it with these Function of Words grammar games. And while they're having fun, children will be getting a tangible impression of the jobs of different words—grammar. These games also instill an understanding of the importance of word order and, most importantly, inspire them to practice reading words. This work is specifically designed to ease the beginning reader into reading more and more words, phonetic and non-phonetic. It is a critical step in gaining a deep understanding of the meaning of words—reading comprehension.

1. The Article
2. The Adjective: Activities 1 & 2

6. The Adverb: Activities 1 & 2
