Letter Sound Recognition

Letter Sound Recognition                 

Pbskids.org/lions/games

Both games I chose help students understand that sounds represent letters- which is an essential skill in learning to read and write.  The two games I selected were "The Quiet Machine" and "Arty's Smarty Doors". (The URL is also posted under the Discussion forum with instructions to access the games).

 

"The Quiet Machine" is a prerequisite to "Arty's Smarty Doors".  "Arty's Smarty Doors allows the player to look through and open all doors and match the correct item behind the door with the first letter of the item shown. Instead of a letter being given (as in The Quiet Machine), an item is shown- and students choose the matching letter sound.

 

This game is fun (for kids) and a good learning activity when building  literacy skills.  This game is repetitive, yet very interactive as the player has to open the doors and choose the correct item. If the player chooses an incorrect answer, the player is allowed another chance. This is definitely a game that should be incorporated into academics for young children who want to have fun while learning.
