For grown-ups: this drill practises reading short ‘a’ words (van, fan, mat, pan, man, rat, cat, bag, cap, tap, tag, ram, map). The two apples differ by just one sound, so the child has to read the word, not guess. Tap the blue speaker to hear the word if your child needs help. From Deepshikha Books’ Phonic Reader series.
