Words on this sheet
GgHhIiJjKkLl
Teacher tip
G and g look very different. Talk about it before kids match.
How to use it
- Hold up the letter and let kids show a thumbs up when they hear a word with that sound.
- Say the sound with a picture and a motion, like a buzzing hand for /b/ in bee.
- Use it in a small reading group so you can hear each child sound out a few words.
Watch for
Adding “uh” to stop sounds, like “buh” for /b/. Keep sounds short and crisp.
Talk about it
- Whose name in our class starts with this sound?
- How did you figure out that word?
Take it further
Bring something from home that starts with the letter for a sound show-and-tell.
