The alternative graphemes for each phoneme are sorted into folders which each contain a variety of phonic activities and games:

• Word list - Begins with a list of words for reading, then shows each word individually for writing.
• Best Bet - Introduces the different graphemes for each phoneme, then shows a picture and part of a word, with the relevant grapheme hidden. The children have to choose which grapheme is missing. Each word is added to a table, that can be analysed at the end of the game.
  
• Homophones with pictures - Contains identical sounding words relating to the phoneme, showing the different spellings and pictures to help remember which is which.
• Homophones - Contains identical sounding words relating to the phoneme, without the pictures.
• Rhyming word generation - Smartboard file for recording words with different graphemes.
