FISHIN G FOR PHO NICS™ ACTIVITIES
ACTIVITY 7 - WORD GUESS
ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Slide the activity selector to the seventh activity. You
will hear "Let's go fishing!"followed by a short tune
and the instruction "Guess the word." An animation
will be shown as a visual clue. The timer will begin as
a "Tick Tock"sound effect is heard.
2. To answer the question your child will need to press
the letter buttons to fill in the blanks one at a time
from left to right.
3. A correct answer will elicit a positive response as well
as a reiteration of the correct answer for added
reinforcement.
4. An incorrect answer will elicit an encouraging
response. Your child will be given another chance as
the learning toy repeats the question. After a third
incorrect attempt, the unit will reveal the correct
answer, and a new question will be asked.
How Can You Help?
• When your child is playing this activity, remind him or her to use the picture
clue to help determine the word. Ask your child to slowly say the word and
think about what sounds he or she hears when saying the word. Next, ask
your child to locate the letter or letters on the learning toy.
• Practice this activity without using the learning toy by having your child
guess what letter is missing from a word that you have written down. Use
words from Fishing for Phonics™. It may be helpful to provide letter choices.
• When reading a book to your child, choose a word and cover up one of the
letters in that particular word. Ask your child to tell you what letter is miss-
ing. Repeat with additional words.
