Match and Spell is an amazing orchard-themed language and literacy game. It boosts letter recognition, teaches phonetic word - building, and helps kids match pictures with words. There are two play modes, suitable for both guided and independent word - building. In the first mode, players match letter cards to the letters on the board in order to form words, a great way to introduce letter shapes and sounds. As kids get better at letter sounds, they'll start reading words aloud. The more challenging mode has players use the blank side of the board and letter cards to build the word of the picture shown, with correct placement essential. With cute illustrations and gameplay that evolves as kids learn, it's our top - selling language game. Match and Spell Next Steps is a perfect follow - up for 5 - year - olds and above. Contents include 12 double - sided 3 - letter word boards, 8 double - sided 4 - letter word boards, 68 letter cards, and 1 instruction leaflet.
Using this game is easy. First, decide which mode you want to play. For the simple matching mode, lay out the boards with the letters showing. Then, have the players pick up letter cards and match them to the letters on the board in the right order to form words. As they get more familiar with letter sounds, encourage them to read the words out loud. In the challenging mode, use the blank side of the boards. Show a picture and let the players use letter cards to build the corresponding word in the correct order. Remember to keep the cards in good condition. Don't bend or damage them. When you're done playing, put all the boards, cards, and the instruction leaflet back in the box. Store it in a dry place to avoid any damage to the game components.
