Clothing Store

The Clothing Store is an activity and location in JumpStart Pre-K. The activity is designed to teach letter recognition and phonics.

Location
The Clothing Store is one of the buildings in the Pre-K Town. Clicking on it from the main town screen takes the player to a closeup of the building with several interactive spots, and causes the Clothing Store Song to play. Clicking on the building will then take the player to the activity.

Activity
The player helps complete T-shirts by placing tiles on the shirts to form letters. The bottom of each shirt has a word with a corresponding picture. The first letter of the word is the letter that the player must form on the T-shirt by placing tiles that create a picture of that letter. Once all of the tiles have been correctly placed, the picture on the shirt will play a brief animation, and the player will earn a star.

Digital manual Description
Unscramble the tiles to trim the T-shirts.

Object: Place the tiles on the T-shirt so that they form a letter. Levels: At level one, you construct uppercase letters. At level two, you form lowercase letters. At level three, place the tiles so that they make either uppercase or lowercase letters. Rewards: When you have placed all the tiles correctly, the T-shirt picture will come to life! If you do a good job, you'll earn a star. When you have all four stars, you'll earn a visit to the Park for a special reward. Print and Color: Click on the Printer next to the level selection bars at the bottom of the screen to print a coloring page of the T-shirt on the screen. Educational benefits: This activity gives your child practice in shape and letter recognition and letter-to-word phonics. Your child also has the opportunity to practice fine motor and art skills by coloring printouts of the T-shirts.
 * Listen to the name of the letter and the word it begins as Eleanor pronounces them. Click anywhere to start playing the game.
 * To move a tile, click on it so that the tile becomes the cursor. Then click where you want to place the tile. Tiles cannot be placed on top of one another, so you must move a tile from a given position before placing another tile in that position.
