FairProspects Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 My little one has a VERY good ear and has picked up letter sounds basically by osmosis. He is starting to blend CVC words, but is much too young and wiggly for anything formal (plus, I really don't want him to catch his older brother who struggles in reading). Yet, at the same time, I would love to keep him engaged and cement the phonemes somehow while we do school. This morning for example, we played "run to the sound" with the vowels taped on the wall and M & Ms. Where can I find more games like this to keep him busy and having fun while learning?

Guest Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Peggy Kaye's book Games For Reading is great, and most libraries have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairProspects Posted August 19, 2010 Author Share Posted August 19, 2010 I've been toying with the idea of this book, I probably just need to purchase it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siloam Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 You can make phonics Bingo cards here. Phonics Bingo is still loved by all my kids, even the 7th grader. I spy but use the sound the name starts with. If you can make up or by a alphabet deck you can play Phonics go fish. If you have a set of pictures and letters you can play phonics memory, just match the letter to the picture who name starts with that sound.

Kate in Arabia Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 I recently made a set of the paint chip phonics cards for my dd 5; every day she chooses a color and goes through the alphabet with that one card. She has fun figuring out which ones are real words and which ones aren't. It's just a quick thing that she does for maybe 5 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElizabethB Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 My game: http://www.thephonicspage.org/On%20Phonics/concentrationgam.html Games from Mona McNee, scroll down to almost the end: http://www.catphonics.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/contents.htm I also like to play games with magnetic letters, you can do relay races where you scoop out letters and run back and build words or just sit with letters and a coookie sheet and see how many words they can make in a minute.

hsbaby Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Someone in my area just coordinated a reading activity bag swap. We haven't made the swap yet, so I can't say how my kids like them yet. But, the examples on the website look good. If you have a support group or co-op you belong to, maybe you could organize one. I organized a preschool activity bag swap and it was pretty easy:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
