Blues Clues Reading Time Activities
 Preschoolers work with Blue and Steve to create their own newspaper, the Big
News Gazette, while practicing basic reading skills. Players design newspapers
by completing reading-based activities such as word matching and interviewing to
compile and collect news stories, which are then added to the paper. Reading
activities relate to the various newspaper sections and help teach skills such
as reading comprehension, word recognition and vocabulary.
In the storymaker kids make stories with cards that have pictures and words.
After stories are created they are read aloud and can then be put in the
Gazette. Children find cards all over Blue's world to add to the storymaker.
Outside is a fun card game to play with Little Paprika, Mr. Salt
and Mrs. Pepper. Children match cards with pictures and words. The first one to
match all their cards wins. Mailbox has the scoop on some news but the stories are not
finished. Blue needs help to find the chicks party hats at the farm and find a
flag for a sandcastle at the beach. There are more fun stories to explore and
complete at the farm, beach and neighborhood.
In addition to the fun activities, Blue's world is
filled with
words that are read aloud when children click on them. Some of the
reading activities featured in Blue's Reading Time Activities
include Interviews, a choose-your-own-adventure type game, which allows
kids to
answer questions to create their own stories, and Dictionary, which
encourages
preschoolers to match words and definitions with pictures in five
different
scenes such as Back Yard and Beach. Never before seen characters such
as Dot,
Fan, Sarge Ant and Scanner introduce skills essential to reading in

yet structured, curriculum-based program.
