Rules for Presenting Alphabet Game, Transition Exercises, Lesson 104, and Teaching m, f, e, r
- You and the child view the program together.
- You operate the mouse.
- Select an acceptable seating arrangement.
- Make sure that your child performs the task the narrator presents.
- When the child responds correctly, reinforce the child and click continue.
- Respond to mistakes in a positive way and tell the child the correct answer.
ALPHABET GAME
The Alphabet Game can be used as a Placement Test. The Funnix program assumes that the child starts with some knowledge
of letter names (not merely the ability to recite the alphabet, but to identify
some letters). If you are not sure if your child is prepared to start Funnix,
download the Alphabet Game and test
your child. If your child needs work on letter names, use the Alphabet Game to teach the letter names that appear early in Funnix.

TRANSITIONAL EXERCISES
If children place at Funnix Beginning Reading Lesson 101 or Funnix 2 lesson 1, 30 or 57, present all five of the Transition Exercises. These five exercises can be presented in about ten minutes.
