Help Wordblender make words by choosing a start sound (onset) and an end sound (rime) to blend together. Wordblender will tell you if you're right or not. You might even be able to make some new words that don't exist!
At the end of the game you can print out a sheet which includes your name (if it has been entered in the Teacher's Control Panel) and a list of all the words that you made.
Blender will be learning lots more new words and sounds to play with, so be sure to come back soon!
The game provides practice at spelling and discriminating:
consonants and consonant clusters at the start and end of words
medial short and long vowel sounds
The panel is accessed from the main start screen once loading is complete. The player's name may be entered and will appear on the printed sheet at the end of the game.
Selecting a cluster The game can be configured to focus on specific start and end clusters. Selecting more clusters will produce greater variation over a series of games, although Wordblender does know enough words to offer some variety of play while focussing on a single cluster.
Levels Wordblender can be played at 3 different levels of difficulty. A single game will feature a maximum of 9 real words, including 2 or 3 featuring the focus sound plus the following distractors:
By default the game will play with the 'progressive' level setting: starting at level 1, each new game will be automatically set one level up from the previous game. Entering a new name in the name box will reset the next game to level 1.
Note - to stop a game at any time use the 'restart' button concealed beneath the BBC logo at the top left.
Term 3
Choose a phoneme. A word containing a gap will appear in the sand. Listen to Colin the Clam say the complete word then click on the sandpie with the right spelling for the missing phoneme. Each word you get right will add a sandpie to the sandcastle you are building.
At the end of the game, you can print out a sheet which shows the sandcastle with all the words you spelt correctly.
The game provides valuable practice in recognising the common alternative spelling choices for the nine vowel phonemes introduced in the National Literacy Strategy Year 2 word level objectives.
There are 10 different vowel phoneme options to choose from when playing the Sandcastle Quiz. 9 of them cover an individual phoneme and its spelling variations and the 10th covers all of them. They are listed below:-
OW - ow/ou (howl, house) OY - oy/oi (boy,join) AR - ar/a/al (star,grass,calm) DEEP U - oo/u (foot,put) AIR - air/are/ear (lair, spare, tear) OR - or/ore/oar/war (short, core,roar,ward) AW - aw/au/augh/al (yawn,august, caught, chalk) IR - ir/ur/er (stir, nurse, nerve) EAR - ear/eer/ere (fear, cheer, mere)
First choose a postcard. Each postcard features a different vowel phoneme. Sentences appear one by one. In the first sentence, you have to click on the focus phonemes. When you have got them all right, the next sentence appears but this time there are gaps in the words. You have to drag the vowel phoneme with the correct spelling into the gap in the word. The game continues in this way until you have completed six sentences.
At the end of the game, all the sentences appear together on the card and you can print the complete card.
In this game the vowel phonemes practiced in the Sandcastle Quiz are contextualised in a series of sentences appearing on holiday postcards. Difficulty is increased by including focus words of more than one syllable. Opportunities for reading practice are also included.
Each postcard covers an individual vowel phoneme and one postcard covers them all. The options are:-
