Visit the robot factory where you will mix and match various body parts to build a robot.

In this interactive phonics game, students practise identifying rhyming words with a focus on CVCC (consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant) word patterns. Each round presents a target CVCC word alongside a set of word options, and students must select the word that rhymes. Every correct rhyme earns a new robot part, bringing them closer to completing their custom creation in the robot factory.

Let’s Build: Match the Rhymes - CVCC Words supports early phonemic awareness, reading fluency, and vocabulary development in a hands-on digital setting. The game blends phonics skills with creativity as students visually build their robot masterpiece through successful rhyming recognition.
