I’ll need to try something else, like these simple Say the Sound games that start slowly and gradually add sounds. They provide letter recognition, phonics and printing practice. They were developed with Preschool and Kindergarten children in mind. I tried a pat, pat, clap motion (patting my thighs and clapping my hands): “Two! /t/ (pat) /t/ (pat) two (clap)!” Learning Letter Sounds These worksheets include review sheets for Beginning Consonant Sounds and Ending Consonant Sounds. I tried different ways of isolating the sound. Does that start with mmmm?”Īnd it kind of went on like that. It’s a worried face.”īut it wasn’t long before the activity kind of fell apart. “Okay, so that one goes on the sad face side.” “Mirror! Mmmmmirror! Does that start with /m/?” 🙂įor each picture, I helped her say the name and stretch or isolate that beginning sound. I was surprised that she wanted to cut out the pictures, and not so surprised when she cut out one and asked me to cut the rest. I asked her to name the letter at the top of the page. Today I chose two activity sheets – letters M and T, because M is the first letter of my daughter’s name, and because T has a pretty easy sound to hear. They glue the four letters that don’t begin with the letter’s sound under the sad face. Learners glue the four pictures that begin wtih the focus letter’s sound under the smiley face. Each page focuses on hearing just one letter sound. So I pulled them out again today, in the hopes that she’d be ready for them.įirst, let me explain my reasoning behind the activity pages. I created these beginning sounds activity pages a few months ago in the hopes that they would help. (Note: When you see a letter in brackets, such as /m/, I’m referring to the sound. If I ask her if car starts with /m/, she might say, “/m/, /m/, car! Yes!”
She has a hard time separating a beginning sound from a word.
I’ve learned that it’s not just a memory issue it’s a phonemic awareness challenge. Because while she recognizes almost any letter (upper or lowercase) by sight, the sounds haven’t come as easily.Īll of her four older siblings knew their sounds inside and out by this age, so it’s a new challenge for me.
Now that she is close to four, I’m working at helping her master the letter sounds. She loved our year of letter of the week, and so did I. My Three (three months shy of four years) loves doing learning activities with me, and asks for them nearly every day. Looking for letter sound activity pages? Try these!
