For grown-ups
Rhyming pairs
What your child practices
Listening to the ends of words: two pictures belong together when their names rhyme. The pairs were chosen for this language. Saying the names aloud is the whole activity, so say them with your child if the device has no voice.
How to use it together
Show it once: point to a picture and say its name, say the name of a picture on the floor, and carry the one that rhymes to the empty place below, slowly. A card that does not rhyme rocks, tips off and goes back; there is no need to point it out. When a pair stays, the matching end of both words lights up. The device says the words if it has a voice for this language; otherwise that part is yours. The green arrow brings new pairs.
