Goal
Strengthen blending and spelling.
You'll need
Letter tiles, fridge magnets, or scraps of paper with letters.
How to do it
Start with simple words like cat. Change one letter to make new ones—cat → cot → hot → hop → ship. Say each word together and blend the sounds. You can swap roles: your child builds, you read.
Use a toy car or finger to drive under each letter as you say the sound—it makes blending physical and fun.
