Build a Word

A picture of a sun and three empty slots. Put the letter that says “sss” first, then “u,” then “nnn.” The tiles wait in order, then get mixed up, then extra letters join in, then a four-letter word.

Builds: Spelling by sound

Words: bat, bed, bib, bus, cap, cat, cup, dog, hat, hen, jam, log, mop, mud, pan, pig, pot, van, sun, frog, crab, nest, milk, drum, belt, vest, plum, slug, sink, crib

Try it together: With magnet letters or scraps of paper, build “sun” together: say each sound as you put its letter down.
