BBC Schools Words and Pictures Throw some sounds together in the virtual blender, mix them all up, and what do you have? If you've chosen the right sounds, you'll spell a cool, refreshing word. That's how the Wordblender works (find it in Consonant Clusters). This fun-packed site also offers reading and writing activities you can print. If you want to practice writing letter pairs, the magic pencil will show you how to shape them.

IKnowThat.com "The grumpy troll is being rather MEAN." That's one of the sentences we got when we decided to practice "long 'e'" sounds in the "Word Builder" section of this site. What other words can we make that have the same sounds? If we drag over this "b" we'll hear a child's voice say "Buh. Ean. BEAN. On a towering stalk grows a giant BEAN." It offers loads of phonics phun, er, fun. The site offers free registration, but you can also choose to go directly to the various activities.
