Spelling Bee
Putting letters in order until they make a word
Warm-up, 5 minutes
Say a short word slowly, one sound at a time (c … a … t), and have the class say the whole word back.
On the projector
The class sounds out the word together, and a helper drags each letter into its slot in order.
Open it with /play/spelling-bee/?projector: the class plays together, you press Next after each win, and nothing is saved.
Away from the screen
Magnetic or cut-out letters: in pairs, build three words from the game, then one of their own.
Questions to ask
- What sound does this word start with?
- What sound comes next?
- Can you say the whole word?
