This game is great for working on letter sounds and blending sounds. Kysen has been working on reading CVC words. He put a yellow letter(vowel) in the middle and orange letters (consonants) on each side. Then we practiced reading the words.
It’s also okay if it’s a nonsense word. Reading nonsense words helps build confidence with decoding. Decoding occurs when a student uses his or her knowledge of letter-sound relationships to accurately read a word.
