What kids do

“Say it, color it, trace it and write it. Then find every b, trace the b words and draw something that starts with /b/!”

Printed on the sheet:

  1. 3. Trace it: B and b
  2. 5. Find it: color every b
  3. 6. Read and trace the b words
  4. Write your own b word:
  5. 7. Draw something that starts with /b/

Teacher tip

Hold up the bee as the picture for /b/. Teach “bat before ball” so kids remember the line comes first in b.

How to use it

  • Say the sound with a picture and a motion, like a buzzing hand for /b/ in bee.
  • Model each letter in the air, then on the board, saying the strokes out loud.
  • Say every word on the sheet together before kids start, stretching the sounds.

Watch for

b, d, p and q mix-ups. Teach “bat before ball” for b: the line comes first.

Talk about it

  • What sound do you hear at the very start of this word?
  • What sound does this letter or letter team make?

Take it further

Make a letter collage: kids cut out pictures from magazines that start with the letter.
