Get advice from the Dyslexic Mum about to make practising word sounds into a fun game:

“A member of the local Brownies group, we used to play the childhood game. “I went to the shop and bought…..” You may have memories of playing this game too. It is a simple game of remembering a shopping list of items. I have turned this simple game in to an activity. To make practising breaking words down into syllables, more fun for dyslexic children”.
