There are now a couple online activities for students as well.

Image

Students can click and listen to the sounds or words and then choose the letter that starts the word, initial sound recognition activity. It has a quiz like format.



Image

This is a memory game that has a letter and picture that starts with the letter. Each time a card is flipped students hear the letter sound or the word for the picture.


Both of these activities match the Fun Fonix Intro Book.


More games and quiz formats to come, as well as versions for the other books.

This the the 6th book in the Fun Fonix series. It has a slightly more advanced structure, including reading comprehension sections with 2 short stories and then 3 reading comprehension questions that follow each passage.

It is a great bridge from a phonics focus moving to leveled readers.
