Sound Activities
Grades Kindergarten-2, Inclusion
The friendly spider from Sound Stories
is back to cheer, "Well done!" as children
complete 4 focused activities
designed to support the following important literacy skills:
• Sound identification
• Letter recognition
• Listening skills
• Phonological awareness (particularly of initial sounds)
• Knowledge of sound/symbol correspondence
• Segmenting and blending
• Alphabet knowledge
Children will be all ears for Sound Activities' 2 listening games.
In The Balloon Game, users identify pictures that begin with the same sound
by clicking on balloons. Once the correct balloons have been selected, the
others pop and the chosen three are displayed with the letter or digraph
that represents the targeted sound.
In The Posting Game, children mail
picture postcards to the door showing the correct initial letter or digraph
sound. As with all the activities in the program, this one ends with the
spider reviewing and reinforcing the letters covered.
The Rockets Game takes children to outer space to practice their spelling
skills. By clicking on the rocket that holds the correct letter, students
complete words representing pictures shown on a planet. Fantastic sound
effects accompany the rockets as they take off and land on the planet to
deliver the missing letter. Children get more practice spelling words in
The T-Shirt Game as they again select the correct initial letters
and digraphs to complete labels for pictures. All 4 of these fun
activities are ideal for individual or small group use.
