Lively animated pictures are your students’ reward for recognizing the final consonants of words. A dachshund and monkey are eager to help and give an additional review of initial consonants.

INTRODUCTION

Phonics Prime Time: Final Consonants is designed to give kindergarten, first-grade, and second-grade students practice in associating the ending consonant sounds of words with the letters that represent those sounds.

MONKEY WORKS presents a picture, a sentence with a blank, and three words. Students look at and name the picture, determine its final consonant sound, find the letter that represents that sound at the end of one of the three words, and select the word that names the picture. The word then appears in the blank in the sentence.

HOT DOG presents the picture of an object and four letters at the bottom of the screen. Students identify either the initial or final sound of the word that names the object in the picture.

Teacher Options allow teachers to tailor the presentation of the material to the needs of individual students or classes. The program also keeps records of individual student performance. See pages 9-11 for information on how to use the Teacher Options.
