SPELLING
FLIP FOR PHONICS™
ACTIVITIES
ACTIVITY 9 - SPELLING
This activity explores spelling skills. Your child must rely on his or her knowl-
edge of letters and sounds in order to sound out and spell simple words.
Your child will be asked to spell words on the cards. As your child presses
each letter button, the name of the letter will be identified. After the final
letter has been pressed, the friendly voice will spell the entire word again
and say the name of the object.
Learning Benefits for Your Child - The Spelling activity ties together all the
skills taught in this learning toy. Children should be able to spell simple
words by applying the skills taught.
ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Turn the card to the index, Spelling.
2. Slide the activity selector to the ninth position as
shown. You will hear a short tune and the friendly
voice will ask a random question, for example,
“How do you spell leg?”
3. You can refer to the cards to see how many letters
are in the word. This will help visualize the spelling
of each word.
4. When the correct letter buttons are pressed, the answer will be
identified followed by a positive phrase.
For example,
you will hear
“Good job! Leg
is spelled L, E, G.”
5. When an incorrect button is pressed, the letter will be identified, followed
by a negative sound and “Try again.”
6. When the repeat button is pressed, the previous question will be
repeated.
7. When the help button is pressed, the learning toy will identify the answer.
How Can You Help?
• After your child has spelled a word correctly, have him or her tell you the
meaning of the word and then use the word in a sentence. This is a great
way to check for comprehension of the word.
• Have your child write the words down on paper. Your child may wish to use
paint, crayons, or markers to show the words that he or she is able to spell.
• Your child can practice reading the words that he or she can now spell.
Together with your child, say the name of the letters in the word and then
say the name of the word.
