What kids do
“Say it, color it, trace it and write it. Then find every p, trace the p words and draw something that starts with /p/!”
Printed on the sheet:
- 3. Trace it: P and p
- 5. Find it: color every p
- 6. Read and trace the p words
- Write your own p word:
- 7. Draw something that starts with /p/
Teacher tip
Hold a hand in front of your mouth to feel the puff of air in /p/.
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
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?
