Select any slide in Slide Show.
Ask the children what the picture is. You can prompt them if they are not sure.
Get them to say the letters by sounding out and blending.
Ask them to write the word on their whiteboards and then show you.
You can reveal the answers by clicking on the squares.
Alternatively, tell you the children you are going to show them slides of pictures and they have, e.g. a few seconds, to write the letter that corresponds to each phoneme on their whiteboards and then show you on their mini- whiteboards.
