Balloon Phonics

Balloon Phonics is a phonics reading game for young children which focuses on three letter words (consonant-vowel-consonant or CVC). It is aimed at children who are working on the phonemes in Stage 2 of the Letters and Sounds programme.

Each of the letter sounds is supported by a sound button so the game provides practise for children to use the sounds they have learned so far and also learn new sounds. It also helps them to practise oral blending of sounds and the segmentation of words into their individual sounds.

There are three different games to choose from: Initial sounds, Middle and End sounds. Working through the levels helps children to progress through the different stages of blending sounds together.
