Beginning Phonics Skills

Letter Sounds:

The Letter Factory Game helps your child learn and remember letter names and sounds by giving each letter its own personality. Every letter on the board features a visual reminder of its sound. Catchy tunes and funny gags reinforce the sound each letter makes.Through all types of game play your child learns to identify each letter and the sound it makes.

Word Building:

As your child masters letters and letter sounds, the Letter Factory Game begins to introduce him or her to initial word sounds, sequencing of letters and building three-letter words.The game helps your child make the connection between letters and their sounds and encourages word building along the way— important first steps on the road to reading!

Other Important Skills:

The Letter Factory Game encourages players to listen carefully, obey rules, take turns and share. All of these skills help children perform better both in school and in social situations. Learning to follow Professor Quigley’s verbal instructions helps teach your child to follow directions.This is a vital skill that helps with success in school.

Adaptive Leveling

The Letter Factory Game adapts to the skill level of each player. If your child has difficulty answering questions, Professor Quigley offers hints and gives more simplified questions in the next round. The game also uses skills your child already has—such as color/colour identification—to build new skills such as letter identification and phonemic awareness. Because the game responds to individual skill level, children at different skill levels can play together and do equally well, allowing all players to succeed and build reading confidence.
