Baseball bash
The monster says a phoneme. Cat will show a series of graphemes, some of which can be pronounced that way and some that cannot. If they can, click/tap on the monster’s tick, if they can't, click/tap on the box with a cross on it.
To hear the monster repeat the phoneme, click/tap her face.
Use the 'Alternative grapheme settings' button to choose which consonant grapheme-phoneme-correspondences to focus on. There are vowel and consonant GPCs to choose from.
Teaching tips:
For similar activities relating to graphemes with the same sound, try ‘Magnet match’ or ‘Cat splat’.
