Children may click on any picture to hear it named. This will help name any picture a child may find confusing, and will allow children to listen carefully and repeatedly to voiced pronunciations. Children may also hear the sound of any phoneme by clicking on the audio symbol to the right of the letter(s). After associating, in this case, the Beginning Consonant with the correct picture, the child clicks and drags the letter to the picture. Help will be provided any time a child makes a second mistake with a given phoneme. Each activity consists of eight matches. The eight boxes at the upper right provide a quick indication as to how a student is doing. The blue highlighted box shows the current problem. The star on previously answered questions indicates that an answer was correct on the first attempt. A lack of stars may indicate assistance is needed.
