Ending Sounds Activities

Not long ago, I talked with a parent who is having difficulty helping her child with phonics. The problem is the child needs extra practice with ending sounds. Her child understands that the final letter is the last letter in a word and that a consonant is any letter in the alphabet that is not a vowel. Her child understands the concepts, but needs a lot of practice and matching ending consonants with their sounds. I showed the child an interactive game on the computer.


The interactive game is fun and engaging, with appealing characters encouraging the child. The child sees a number of objects coming at him and has to click the one that ends with the sound the child hears. He can play with scoring and a timer or with the computer showing the correct answer. And all of this involves only fifteen screens, which helps the child feel a sense of accomplishment. Now he is ready for some other ending sounds!
