FISHING FOR PHONICS™ ACTIVITIES ACTIVITY 6 - SPELLING (continued) 2. Use the letter buttons to spell the word in order from left to right. Each correct letter will appear one at a time, replacing the blanks on the screen. When the word is complete and all the blanks are filled, press the fisherman to stop the timer. 3. A correct answer will elicit a positive response as well as a reiteration of the correct answer for added reinforcement. 4. An incorrect answer will elicit an encouraging response. Your child will be given another chance as the learning toy repeats the question. After a third incorrect attempt, the unit will reveal the correct answer, and a new question will be asked. How Can You Help? • After your child has spelled a word correctly on the learning toy, ask him or her to tell you the meaning of the word. This is a great way to check for comprehension of the word. • Have your child write some of the words from Fishing for Phonics™ down on paper. Your child may wish to use paint, crayons, markers, etc. to show the words that he or she is now able to spell. • Your child could practice reading the words that he or she can now spell from Fishing for Phonics™. Together with your child, say the entire word. For instance: with the word "egg" say, "E, G, G spells 'EGG'!" ACTIVITY 7 - WORD GUESS This activity challenges your child to guess the word, based on a picture clue and some of the letters in the word. He or she will need to rely on his or her vocabulary and phonics skills in order to complete the words. Learning Benefits for Your Child - Word Guess helps to enforce word comprehension by asking your child to determine words by viewing animations. It also enhances spelling skills by having your child fill in missing letters to correctly complete the words. 12 WORD GUESS
