of the vocabulary presented in Fishing for Phonics™. Your child will have a
chance to learn several object words and demonstrate his or her comprehension
by associating the pictures with the written word.
ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Slide the activity selector to the eighth activity. You
will hear "Let's go fishing!" followed by a short tune
and the instruction "Choose the object that matches
the word by pressing the fisherman." A word will
appear followed by three object pictures. The timer
begins as a "Tick Tock" sound effect is heard.
2. Press the fisherman to select the correct graphic
when it scrolls across the screen.
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?
• Make up riddles about the vocabulary words used in Fishing for Phonics™.
For instance, say, "I'm used to telling time and can be found on a person's
wrist. What am I?" Your child should be able to guess "WATCH"! Continue with
other words from this game. Give your child a chance to make up some
riddles for you to guess also!
• When reading stories with your child, check for understanding of the words
that are being read to him or her. Ask questions to make sure your child is
understanding the vocabulary in the story. If he or she is unclear, be sure to
point out clues in the story that may help him or her determine the meaning
of a certain word.
• Create a word dictionary with your child. Allow one page for every letter in
the alphabet. Keep it handy when you are reading to your child. When your
child learns a new word, enter it into his or her word dictionary. Periodically,
your child should reread the dictionary that he or she has created to review
the words and their meanings.
