Monster cannon
Which is the right way to pronounce the grapheme in the cannon's window?
Use the toilet roll levers to change the phoneme so it's correct. When you are ready, click/tap on Cat to fire the cannon. You can click/tap the cannon's window or speaker to repeat the phoneme.
Use the 'Alternative phoneme settings' button to choose which graphemes to focus on. There are vowel and consonant grapheme-phoneme-correspondences to choose from.
Teaching tips:
For more practice with alternative phonemes, try ‘Cat's spelling splosh’.
