Welcome to the “Say the Letter on the Beat Challenge!” 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 (Cat, Dog, The, etc.)
Level 3: 6-Letter Challenge Words (Animal, Monkey, Friday)
Don’t forget to PAUSE and REWIND if the beat gets too fast!
