If you're involved in teaching then the big push with synthetic phonics is well known about... but just a quick recap... as soon as a child can identify phonemes, then the key next step is the skill of blending them together and segmenting them, the former to help with reading of words and segmenting that will help improve spelling of words. ... showing virtual phoneme frame
To start with CVC words are blended, then progression is made on to CVCC and CCVC words... this software focuses on CVCC and CCVC, helping the learner make that transition from simple blends to more complicated ones. This set of games has two main activities that will help with teaching... a blending activity and a segmenting activity, the segmenting uses a virtual phoneme frame. I've also introduced some new functionality that allows the teacher to create a custom list of words... not yet released (but about to be) is the ability to save multiple custom lists of words. I'm currently retro-fitting this to the Tricky Words software and will then fit it to Consonant Blends.
