This game will add fun to your teaching repertoire when you introduce beginning blends with short vowels. The first six games target specific skill deficits and will improve phonemic development, while the last three games have mixed blends, digraphs and single terminal phonemes (ck, ff, ll, ng, sh, ss, zz) that will enhance fluency for all ability levels.
