Play a phonics scavenger hunt no matter where you are. This game will have your child sounding out words and finding letter sounds in the objects around them.

You've probably played the game "I Spy." It's perfect for long car rides. But with a little tweaking, the game can also help kids practice syllables.

Children will learn all about cause and effect as they experiment with potion-making in this Halloween themed activity.

Try this goofy, first grade phonics craft that focuses on the letter "F" as in "Frog" and helps build crucial reading and spelling skills in your child.
