CONNECTING LETTERS & SOUNDS
These cards can be used for guided letter-sound inquiries.
Each card has a capital and lower case letter on it and a picture that letter sounds as its initial sound. The picture may act as a prompt for inquiries into the letter-sound relationship. If your child(ren) name the picture differently to what is indicated on the card, use this as an opportunity to see if the sound is still present in the way the child named the image, or if another letter would have a better fit. NOTE The picture cards have been designed to so that initial sounds of the word can be matched with a letter, however if your child(ren) identifies a middle or end sound, they can match it with an alphabet/letter card.

The cards have been created with large bubble letters for children to
The space on the cards can be filled with other images or words that connect to the letter-sound on that card, or they can be used as a sorting mat for children to place objects or toys with the matching sound on.
