Sort pictures into columns, on screen
The pictures wait at the bottom, the columns at the top: one syllable, two syllables, three… or the first letter, or the family. The child drags each picture into place, and Lexikit says whether it is right.

Frequently asked questions
Where do the families come from?
From your words' tags: “farm”, “savannah”, “fruit”… You need words from two families, for example animals and fruit, to make two columns.
Does sorting by syllables count the silent e?
As you wish: “ta-ble” counts as two syllables or just one, whichever your class is used to.
