How to run it
Segment before building. These are CVC words, so a child who can hear three sounds can spell all of them, and saying /b/ /a/ /g/ aloud is the step that makes it possible. Egg is the exception worth naming — two letters for the last sound — and it is best left until the pattern is established. Keep asking for the production as well as the spelling.
Cueing ladder
Start at the top. Add support one step at a time.
- IndependentAfter building each word, the student says it aloud. Wait 3 seconds.Log as correct
- Visual cuePoint to your mouth, or show the mouth picture for /g/, before the student tries again.Log as cued
- Verbal modelSay the word; the student says it right after you.Log as cued
- Placement cueTongue tip down behind your bottom teeth. Lift the back of your tongue to the back of the roof of your mouth, then release it with your voice on.Log as cued
Adjust it
Drop to syllables ('ag' and 'eeg'), or use fewer cards.
Put each word in a short carrier phrase with no /g/ in it or mix in /g/ words from another position.
Matching IEP goal
Given word cards, Student will produce /g/ in the word-final position in single words in 8 of 10 opportunities across 3 consecutive sessions, given no more than a visual cue.

The twelve final /g/ words — bag, bug, dog, egg, log, pig, rug, tag, dig, hug, fog, leg — as a spelling task. Derived from the flashcard deck. Every word here is three letters except egg, which makes this a good early spelling set as well as a speech one: the sounds and the letters line up almost perfectly.
What to listen for
Watch the vowels, which are where CVC spelling errors live rather than in the consonants. Bug and bag differ by one letter and are frequently swapped in writing even by children who say them correctly. Notice whether the final consonant appears at all — a child who writes ba for bag is writing what they are saying, and the correspondence is worth showing them.
Carrying it home
Three-letter words are short enough to spell aloud anywhere. Asking a child to spell dog or bug while walking takes seconds and needs no paper, and it reinforces the sound at the same time.

Questions
- How is this different from the flashcards?
- Same twelve words, built from letters rather than read from a card. It suits a child working on early spelling as well as on the sound.
- Do I need an account?
- No, it plays free in the browser.
- Why does 'egg' have two g's?
- It is an old spelling that does not follow the CVC pattern the other eleven do. Teach it as a whole word rather than trying to sound it out letter by letter.
