Now when the student quickly types letters that form a single sound (or another predictable sound pattern, even if it is multiple sounds), a colorful balloon appears and then floats into space. This will encourage students to think about the sounds of the words as they type and reinforce letter-sound connections.
In the future, additional color-coded images will appear for different types of phonograms and sound-welding. I hope to slyly teach a bit of etymology while I’m at it. You’ll also notice that each balloon is color coded according to the fingers used to type each balloon.
Hope you enjoy!
