The puzzles show how letters connect in words and are color-coded.  You can let your child simply match the shapes and colors or you can use it as an opportunity to talk about how the letters change shape depending where they are in the word.  It’s also a great way to practice reading/sounding words out.  

Don’t forget to throw in an occasional word or two of encouragement; “Bravo Ah-layk” for the boys or “Bravo, Ah-lay-kee” for the girls.
