Product Details
Terrific pictures interest and motivate children as they work on numerous phonics activities developed to help young pre-readers master the association between letters and the sounds they represent. Assorted activities and multiple levels of difficulty are offered in each of the following areas: Preschool Picture Play Pronunciations by a speech therapist and easy-to-grasp program tasks help children enhance their abilities to connect sounds with letters. After completing an activity sequence of 10, 20 or 30 pictures, children advance to one of six different Create-a-Picture reward screens. There they continue to develop phonics skills while having fun building a picture of their own.
Picture Phonics begins with Preschool Picture Play. This activity provides a first computer experience for young pre-readers. Pressing a letter key causes a picture and a word to appear. The word is pronounced by the speech therapist. It begins with the letter that was pressed. Children discover that each letter key is associated with a specific item and word. They see their favorite pictures and hear the words by remembering the right keys to press. To see the wagon, they must press W.
Activites 2, 3, and 4 become progressively more challenging. In Activity #2, the child is presented with a colorful picture and three large consonants. The name of the pictured object is pronounced. (See the "tiger" screen.) The child uses the Space Bar or mouse to select the consonant which represents the initial sound of the pictured object.
For Activity #3 (pictured at right), the child uses the Space Bar or mouse to select which of four words identifies the picture. Children should focus on the beginning consonant to find the correct answer. In Activity #4, the student is shown a picture and given a word with the beginning consonant missing. The word is pronounced. The child enters the missing consonant from the keyboard to complete the word.
