Phonics Games
Phonics games will help your children decode words, which will help them to read. Initially, children will learn basic letter sounds, such as "c-a-t" for "cat". Later they will move on to sounds such as "th", "sh" and "ch", then "oo", "oa" and so on. Once they recognize a few basic letter sounds, they will be able to work out what a written word says for themselves, a skill which they will be very proud to show off!

Phoneme Pop
Choose the group of phonemes (sounds) you want the child to practise. The sound is spoken clearly and the child has to pop the bubble containing the matching sound. Simple, but strangely satisfying, like popping bubble wrap. (ICT Games)
