The new activity First Phonics replaces the three activities developed in Flash: First Sounds, First Blends and First Words. The same words and pictures are included in the exercises, which range from initial sounds, to digraphs and blends, to whole words.

Legacy Flash versions of First Sounds, Blends and Words can be found further down this page.
