Help Kids With Spelling Playing The Game “Be A Star”

Start off playing the game with a few blends at a time as shown in the video and have fun playing this kids spelling game of “Be a Star.”

On the cards, there is a picture of a star with the letters “st”. Your child makes the word and then remembers the picture and the word they have made.

Try and make sure your child knows the meanings of these blend words below as well as how to spell them. Make sure your child imagines a picture of the object to remember its meaning by and sees the letters as well, in their imagination, saying the letters under their breath at the same time.

Here is a list of the blends to use.

Place alphabet cards in order in a semi-circle in front of the players.

You can make all the cards for the alphabet and this game yourself or buy them in my E-Book, Izzy’s Reading and Spelling – E-book 1
