About Elementary Build Word
The learner builds words from sound tiles, not single letters: "ship" is sh, i, p and "train" is t, r, ai, n. It teaches that two letters can make one sound, which is the key to spelling longer English words.
How to play
- Listen to the word.
- Put the sound tiles in order.
- Check your word.
