Phonics 2a - Itermediate Level: Learning intermediate phonics becomes a finger-snapping experience with this musical multimedia program! Phonics 2a begins with a review of basic phonics concepts and sounds. The "Learn the Words" section helps the student see a picture of the word, see and hear the word, and then see and hear how the word is formed phonetically. Exciting and challenging spelling and review games give students a jump-start on reading and spelling.

Some of the games include: "Lily's Digraph Jukebox", the "Diphthong Target Shot" or the "Rhyming Painter". More fun activites include "Poem Builder" and "Sunken Synonyms". Kids earn silver and gold stars for completing each game or activity and if they earn all the stars, they can earn a "Gold Star Certificate of Achievement".

Our unique "Learn the Words" activity builds vocabulary and helps kids learn new words as they learn the sounds that make the word. We show a picture of the word, the name of the word (they can move their cursor over the word to hear the word). Next we show the phonemes that are used in the word in boxes. Kids can move their cursor through the boxes to hear each sound or they can move their cursor through the boxes to blend the sounds to make the word. This is our blended approach to phonics showing the phonemes and the whole words together to learn new words and learn the sounds that make up words.
