With the decoding games, the children start on a new phase of learning to read. At the decoding level, children no longer concentrate on initial sounds but will be listening instead to the structure of familiar spoken words that have been broken into two component parts. Through playing these games, the children will learn the word man, for example, can be separated into the main part /ma/ and the ending /n/. The children learn to rejoin them to form the familiar word /man/.
