Download and install free "Lettersounds" game. The student drags a picture to the house with the letter on it that begins the word. The word is pronounced for the student to avoid any confusion about the word. When the student puts the picture in the right place, the word is spelled on the screen, and a smaller version of the picture goes in a row by the house, to show that it is correct. Each game is different, and it can be played many times.
