Pronunciation Pathway
This game helps students practise recognising and categorising words with common letter patterns but different pronunciations. Players draw word cards, identify pronunciation patterns, and race along the board. It supports phonemic awareness and spelling skills, while encouraging friendly competition in upper, middle, and lower primary classrooms.
Learning goals
- We are learning to use phonic knowledge to read and write less familiar words that share common letter patterns but have different pronunciations, e.g. journey, your, tour, sour.
- We are learning to use phonic and morphemic knowledge to read and spell less familiar words that share common letter patterns but have different pronunciations, e.g. journey, your, tour, sour.
