Let's learn about VOWELS, shall we? :-)

Thinking of ways to make your child learn language in a more fun way? Here's a game that "little footstepz" spotted for your child!

Name of Game: Letter Matching.

Suitable Age Group: 5 to 6 Year old

Objectives of game: 1. For children to be able identify vowels in the English alphabet and put them to the correct use.

2. For children to learn spelling through the placing of the right vowels & the completing the respective words

Instructions:

1. A list of words will appear on screen together with a set of vowels - "a, e, i, o and u"
2. Children are to drag the appropriate vowels to a word and complete the word.
3. Children are to make sure that the spelling of the word is right.

Look at the picture above as an example -:

The letter "i" has been dragged to complete the word "kite"

and

The letter "e" is being dragged to complete the word "bee"

Also, we can see that there are images next to the incomplete words to guide children

to choosing the right vowel to fit the word.

The words get tougher after every round.

This is a good example, scaffolding :-)

Rating: Excellent!

This game enables a child to learn spelling while learning to identify vowels in the English alphabet. Children will not only be able to improve their spelling skills but also identify vowels and distinguish them from the consonants in the English alphabet.

It is important for children to better understand the difference between vowels and consonants and its usage in the English alphabet.

This game not only helps in the language development of a child but also the emotional aspect of development. This is as such because when the child is done with one round, a "Good Job" sign will appear on the screen as shown in the picture above. This gives the child a sense of encouragement and hence, boosts his self esteem.

Give this game a shot & you will be surprised as to how much your child learns after just a few rounds!
