Welcome to the “Say the Letter on the Beat Challenge!” Winter Theme. This interactive game is designed to help early readers build lightning-fast upper case letter recognition and spelling skills.
How to Play:
- Listen for the beat: When the music starts, get ready!
- Say it out loud: As each letter appears on the screen, say its name (or its sound!) perfectly in time with the music.
- Level Up: Watch out! We start with 6 random letters, but as the beat goes on, we’ll move into spelling 3-letter and 6-letter words.
This video is perfect for Kindergarten and 1st-Grade students who are working on their sight words and phonics. Whether you are in a classroom or learning at home, let’s see if you can keep up with the rhythm!
What’s Inside:
- Level 1: Rapid-fire Letter Identification (6 letters per screen)
- Level 2: 3-Letter CVC and Sight Words (cup, gum, bus, etc.)
- Level 3: 6-Letter Challenge Words (school, puzzle, winter)
Don’t forget to PAUSE and REWIND if the beat gets too fast! If you enjoyed this challenge, hit the LIKE button and SUBSCRIBE for more musical learning adventures!
