As your kids begin to read, they will move from letter recognition to letter/sound correspondence. Being able to segment the sounds in a word is crucial for reading and writing. Here are some of my beginning sounds resources: all focusing on the early reading stages.
These BEGINNING SOUNDS CLIP CARDS are excellent for letter recognition and letter-sound correspondence. Using clothespins, kiddos say and clip the initial sound of the picture shown on the card.
Words are printed, with a blank line representing the missing sound, to eliminate confusion of what the pictures are.
If you would rather have the students WRITE the answer on a recording sheet, rather than CLIP it, then check out my BEGINNING SOUNDS TASK CARDS resource.
