This is practice in reading Turkish syllables, not English phonics. Start when your child can read BA and LON separately.
How to play
- Point to BA and LON. Ask your child to read each Turkish syllable aloud from left to right.
- Ask them to join the syllables without changing their order, then choose the matching word on the screen.
You will need
- No materials needed; the syllables and choices are on the screen.
Read these Turkish syllables in this order: BA + LON. Which word do they make?
Well done! That is right. BA followed by LON makes BA-LON: BALON (balloon in Turkish).
Not quite yet. Keep both syllables. Read BA first and LON second, then look for every letter in that order.
Answer and explanation
BA followed by LON makes BA-LON: BALON (balloon in Turkish).
Make it easier
Say each Turkish syllable together, pausing briefly between BA and LON before joining them.
Make it more challenging
After choosing, cover the options and ask your child to say the joined Turkish word again.
Keep the session comfortable; stop or take a break if your child becomes frustrated.
