Video games require reading

Video games require reading skills, thereby allowing children to practice decoding challenging words and reading specific directions. In my experience of monitoring students read and play video games, I have found that students improve their reading skills. Parents and educators should select the video games for amusement and educational value. I believe that limiting the time children spend playing video games is important as well.
