My First Scrabble

Children will enjoy playing this game and have no idea that they are learning to spell - they'll just enjoy the game ! The full alphabet is divided into groups of coloured tiles. The words are similarly colour coded so that a child shouldn't be put off finding a letter in a particular word if you show them that they just need to look at the colour of the letter first. Then they only have to search for the correct letter out of a small group of letters all the same colour instead of the whole alphabet. Children will be keen to show they can do it by just finding the letter rather than the colour. Level 1 just starts spelling words like 'cat' whilst higher levels move onto 'pear' and bean' showing different sounds made by 'ea'.
