Playing the Games:
Turn
ON
the unit. Alpha-Bug will say, "Hi! Good to see you!
Choose an activity. Step on my shoe!"
DISCOVER MODE
This activity helps teach the basics of learning to recognize
letters and the sounds they make! Try Level 1 first and work
your way up to Level 2!
Level 1
In this game, you will be asked to some basic questions to
explore letters and sounds!
Level 2
When you advance to Level 2, players are asked to explore
and learn other important skills. The questions include
finding the first letter of a word, or what letter come
before or after a letter in the alphabet! Players will also
be asked to identify the sounds of letters.
SPELL MODE
This game is designed to help young learners gain confidence
with spelling simple words.
Level 1
In this level your child will gain confidence building 3 letter
words with a little guidance from Alpha-Bug. For example,
Alpha-Bug will ask the player to spell the word "cat". First
Alph-Bug will ask the player to find the "C", then the "A",
and then the "T". If the player misses a letter twice, then
Alpha-Bug will move on!
Level 2
In Level 2, players move on to more advanced spelling. In
this level, players are asked to spell words without the
assistance they had in Level 1.

ABC SONG MODE
Alpha-Bug will sing the alphabet song and ask the player to
follow along by stepping on the letters with the song. During
this activity, stepping on the letters does not affect the song,
so don’t worry about stepping on a wrong letter, moving too
fast, or too slow. This is simply an exercise to help build those
recognition skills and have some fun all at the same time!
MUSIC MODE
In this activity, all the letters of the alphabet become musical
notes. In the back of the manual we’ve taken these letters and
composed a few simple, familiar songs. Match the colors and
letters written on the notes to the letters and colors on Alpha-
Bug!
Parent and Teacher Note:
The yellow letter "L" on Alpha-Bug’s
body matches the note of "middle C". As Alpha-Bug faces you,
letters to the left of "L" are lower notes on the musical scale
and letters to the right are higher notes on the musical scale.
