About Elementary Sound Gap
The next step in phonics, built on two-letter sounds: consonant digraphs (sh, ch, th, wh, ph) and vowel teams (ee, ea, ai, ay, oa, oe, ie, ue, oo, ou and more). The learner hears a word like "rain" and taps the missing sound. The words are from everyday life: ship, chips, phone, train, boat.
How to play
- Listen to the word.
- Find the gap.
