"Hi, I am Katalin the creator of Creative English. I am here on behalf of Expert Village and I am going to explain to you why reading games are important for children. For this game you will need a piece of paper, then a dice, then some something to play with. It could be a little piece of anything basically. You don't necessarily need to get something from a game, it can be a little stone or it can be a cork or maybe a little curl, anything that you find around the house or in your pocket. And you will also need a felt tip pen. Then use the piece of paper. You draw a square or a rectangle depending on the size and shape of the paper. Then you will need to draw another one inside it just like that. And then you need to make little squares. It doesn't matter if it doesn't look very nice, just do it very quickly, just like that. In the meantime you can ask your children to think of some letters. They don't need to be in alphabetical order just anything that pops to their mind."
