Pre-readers use the provided cards to say and sort based on the number of phonemes in each word.

This phonemic awareness game is very similar to the classic card game war; partners divide picture cards, each taking half (included). They place one card face-up at a time and segment the phonemes aloud. Whoever has the most phonemes...

Young learners build phonemic awareness and strong phoneme blending skills. Pairs guess the image on the card based on the word segment sounds given by blending what they hear.

Once your scholars know their letter sounds and recognize them in words, have them try making new words by manipulating phonemes. Pupils are given a word change picture board and a stack of word pictures. They pick a card and place it...

Words are interesting things—you can change them by adding or subtracting phonemes. Here, emergent readers change the pictures on their phoneme pie by removing or adding various final phonemes. A fun way to build phonetic competency!

Try to match the final sounds in this memory game! Learners place all 24 cards upside down and take turns flipping them to see if the final phonemes match. If they do, remove them; if not, put them back. Partners play until all cards...

Pre-readers identify and match initial phonemes. Scholars take turns choosing one card from each of the three stacks. They say the name of the image on the card, then keep whichever cards have a matching initial phoneme.

Phonemes are the focus of this colorful and engaging presentation. Learners are exposed to a variety of phonemes, and are invited to construct words using them. A fun game of phoneme Bingo appears on one of the slides, and other...
