Purchasing the Phonogram Fun Packet along with Spell to Write and Read is an investment in your child's education. You'll see the true value of it in a very short period of time, and be SO glad you bought it! So many moms tell me they couldn't believe the difference it made in their children's cooperation to memorize the phonogram sounds and spelling rules, because they wanted to play the games!

 

My children between the ages of 4 and 10 have really enjoyed playing the Teddy Bear's Picnic and Tubin’ Down the River included in this packet.  The laminated game board is so colorful and well crafted.  Each of my children likes to pick their favorite color Teddy Bear as their game piece. There are fun Wild Cards that add intrigue to the games. We shake the dice and move the Teddy Bears along. Each time they land, the child picks up a phonogram card and says its sound(s).  Whoever gets the most cards at the end by saying the sounds correctly, wins!  You can also choose to do a spelling rule version of the game where they pick up a card with a spelling rule containing a few missing words that they fill in orally to keep the card.  You can set the “level of play” for each game to use only the phonograms or spelling rules that your child has been taught.  This way they are always a winner!

We have a lot of fun with our little Teddy Bears.  Sometimes they all land on the picnic spot together and we “have a little picnic” and have our Teddy Bears talk in squeaky voices about the good food, and hot weather!  Other times the Teddy Bears jump into the river for a swim and we yell, in squeaky voices, “Oh, boy!  It’s cold!”

One night the kids asked Dad to play Teddy Bears Picnic with them and he was so impressed that even our 5 year old knew all 6 sounds for the phonogram /ough/!  (Dad wasn’t sure how many sounds there were, or just what they were.)  This was a fun moment for Dad to praise the kids in their learning, and for them to feel proud!

I think you could easily get an older child (ages 11-14) to join in the some of the games in the Phonogram Fun Packet.  There is a game called Go the Row (Bingo) in the Phonogram Fun Packet and my 2nd son would regularly show up to play this game even when he was 12 or 13 and knew all the phonograms.  I didn't even specifically invite him, but he would hear us playing and come over to the table and ask for a bingo card.  I bet it helped that we were using m & m's, or peanuts, or cheese crackers for bingo markers, that they could eat when the game was over!  I think an older child could enjoy the board games as well, especially if you said you needed his help with the younger kids for the game. 

 

I’m really happy to have games to go along with SWR that both practice the building blocks of our language and build family memories.
