Help your kindergartner discover that words are a letter-by-letter adventure! Oh, no! Each word is missing its first letter. Can you hear what it should be? Choose the right letter tile to finish it. In this Make-a-Word Beginning Sounds software kids work on both phonics and spelling as they practice hearing each sound and saying each letter in one-syllable words. This develops decoding or “sound it out” skills, builds confidence, and prepares little learners for more complex words. Mastering little words motivates kids to keep reading. They will soon be able to say, “I can hear and match beginning sounds in words” and “I can put together a broken word (s-un, s-ing, and l-eg)”—big steps in their early reading journey!
