A silly spelling game based on the Letters and Sounds Full Circle game.

Learning Objective:
To segment words into phonemes and then choose the corresponding grapheme.

To blend sounds when reading.

Listen to the word that you need to spell.
Arrange the sounds on the boat to spell the word, (why not give the rest of the class drywipe boards so that all can take part).
Press on the big wave to see if you're right.
If you're wrong the Viking will look down at what you've done, if you're right he'll cheer.

The first word is displayed throughout the game. When you find the first word again shout 'Full Circle'.

Have fun!

A super game to practice reading words with your Special Friends

Practise blending sounds that you've learned.

Like to keep your phonics words in tidy sets? Don't want to mix them up? This tool makes word cards for you in mixed sets so you don't have to make a mess of yours.

It's an ideal end to a phonics session or a positive use of 5 minutes before hometime/lunch.

1. Choose 2 or more sounds that you have been learning. The word list is created and shuffled for you.

2. A word comes down from the top.

3. It waits 3 seconds so that you can look for the special friends or count the sound buttons. (I did have this set to 5 seconds but it slowed the tool down. If you wish it were slower please do email me).

4. After 3 seconds the sound buttons appear. They are pressed for you so the children can call out each phoneme

5. Then the word pops out - time to blend the sounds to make the word.

6. If you're in auto mode the word will slide off on its own, otherwise press on the triangles to send the word off.

7. A new word comes on automatically from the top.

NB: The 'auto' mode check box disappears and then reappears. I know that's frustrating! I had to do this to ensure the sequence ran smoothly, sorry! Have fun!

A simple spelling game using spelling patterns.
Aimed at children aged between 4 & 7yrs.

Learning Objective:
Y1: Spell words containing each of the 40+ phonemes already taught.

Y1: Apply simple spelling rules as listed in Appendix 1.

Y1: To apply phonic knowledge and skills as the route to decode words when reading

Y1: To respond speedily with the correct sound to graphemes (letters or groups of letters) for all 40+ phonemes, including, where applicable, alternative sounds for graphemes.

NB: If you're hearing no sound please refresh/reload the page. HTML5 can lose sound if other tabs are opened afterwards.

Choose a spelling pattern and you will be prompted to spell approximately ten words using that spelling pattern, e.g. 'ay' words. Your child will become more confident in their ability to spell by learning to spell through patterns. The sounds are easy to move around using the drag and drop sound cards. Each correct answer is rewarded with a funny animation. If you need help you can hear the word again or take a quick peek at how to correctly spell the word. A simple scoring system lets you know how well you've done. The game covers 30 spelling patterns suitable for children between the ages of 4 and 7 years of age.

Have fun!
