B-Alphabet and words

My first VocabulonDescription Children learn to decode letters and words

using six game possibilities of increasing difficulty. They learn to pinpoint the pictures of the word cards on the scenery boards and to name them. They eventually recognize the matching words on the word boards. Later, they use their imagination to invent a story based on a word card chosen and picked at random. The last stage requires decoding sentences to find a word based on a clue.







ScrabbleDescription

Use your seven letters to build crosswords, and use bonus spaces to add to your score.





TabooDescription
