What kids do
“Say the name of each picture. What sound do you hear first? Write that letter in the box.”
Teacher tip
Crayon and candy both start with hard c. Point it out.
How to use it
- Let kids trace with a finger before a pencil.
- Play “I spy something that starts with…” after the sheet.
- Use the sheet as a quick check after you teach the sound, then reteach in a small group.
Watch for
Adding “uh” to stop sounds, like “buh” for /b/. Keep sounds short and crisp.
Talk about it
- Which letters look a lot like this one?
- Can you think of another word with the same sound?
Take it further
Form the letter with playdough or pipe cleaners.
