FISHIN G FOR PHO NICS™ ACTIVITIES
ACTIVITY 3 - BEFORE AND AFTER
This activity strengthens alphabetical order skills. Your child will recognize that
the letters of the alphabet are arranged in a certain order. He or she will have
opportunities to tell which letter comes before or after certain letters. Your
child will be asked specific questions such as, "What letter is before B?" He or
she will then need to look for the fish button with the correct letter on it. The
correct button should then be pressed, and the fisherman pressed to stop the
timer.

will hear "Let's go fishing!"followed by a short tune,

is before B?" or "What letter is after A?" The timer
will then begin as a "Tick Tock" sound effect is heard.

letter button. The press of a blend button will result
in an "invalid key" response. After inputting an answer ,
press the fisherman to stop the timer.

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.
