Tidy up!
Sort the objects into the boxes.
Click or tap the object you want to pick up and listen to its name. Click or tap on a box to hear its sound. Click or tap the arrow for the box and Dog will fire the object into it.
Use 'Letters and their sounds settings' to select a bank of letters. With 'Prioritise latest GPC' turned on you can make the most recently taught graphemes and phonemes have more weight. Letters and Sounds is the default order but Jolly Phonics is also available. If you have 'Prioritise latest GPC' turned off, it doesn't matter which programme you are using.
Under 'Setup's phonics settings' you can change the letter style and forms.
Teaching tips:
Use with ‘Letter box’ or ‘Sound seek’ to practise identifying, listening to and reading GPCs.
