Teacher Tips for Erase a Robot Reading Game

For beginning readers you can encourage them to look at the beginning letter and make the sound. Then, think of the body part that begins with the same sound. This works for words like leg, body, nose, and mouth.

You may also sound out the word for the child. Point at the letters as you do that. The word mouth, for example, would be 3 sounds /m/ /ou/ /th/. Say the sounds separately, then begin to blend them together to make the word. This works on phonemic awareness.

Read the word to them, and let the child erase the body part.
