Learning the building blocks of words - sounds, their spellings, and word parts

This is a fast, easy word-building and word-changing game for two players who know at least one sound for each letter of the alphabet. It provides practice in:

  • blending sounds into one-syllable words,
  • manipulating sounds in and out of words,
  • the two and three-letter consonant spellings sh, ch, th, wh, ck, ng, ll, ss, tch and dge.
  • understanding that some spellings/sounds only occur before vowels, and some only occur after vowels.

Younger children will at first need help from an adult or older child to play successfully.

You can buy this game from this website by clicking here, or it’s available from DSF in Perth, SPELD NSW, Seelect Educational Supplies in SA and Phonics Australia in Qld. If you are buying other things from their websites, these cards usually won’t add to the postage cost as they’re small and light.
