Learning to read can come quite easily for some children while for others – it is really difficult to just get going. I am not talking about children with learning disabilities – for some they need extra time to grasp the concepts and put it all together. After all the English language is not an easy one to pick up.
When I was younger and learned to read – I went to Catholic school. We learned through a phonics program. Each of our five children have handled learning to read differently. Our youngest was a piece of cake and another child was a huge challenge.
Now we have our grandson living with us. Now he is on the very young side attending kindergarten so the concepts are being presented to him very very early. But he is definitely a willing participant in the process and does want to learn to read so that is half the battle.
Now along comes the uKloo Early Reading Treasure Hunt game. He seriously cannot wait to participate in his treasure hunt every night. He is also very ADHD so getting him to focus on something is perfect.
Basically to make your way through your treasure hunt you find the clues, look up the words and work your way to a surprise! The role of the parent is to decide how many cards to use, which cards to use and leave out, and what type of surprise will best motivate your child or be suitable for their circumstances. Below is our video…
His confidence has definitely increased and I really wish this game were around while we were trying to teach some of our children to read. And here is uKloo’s video:

Thank you for sharing this wonderful review! Please give your grandchild a big hug from the uKloo mom!
This looks like so much fun! Thank you for sharing! Now I know what to get my nieces for Christmas!
Great educational game for children! I like how a child has to find the clues, look up the words and work their way. Great bonding time too for parents and children.
This looks like it would be such a great game for kids to learn. I know that it would definitely help my kids!
This looks like a fun activity! I always prefer giving and receiving educational games.
What a neat way to encourage early reading. Kids don’t even know they are learning.
Oh my, this game looks like so much fun! My kiddos would love this so much!
Making reading a game sounds like so much fun. It makes it more enjoyable when you are playing and learning.
Oh my. This is my kind of game. Looks really fun! Perfect at this time of the year.
