Find the Beginning Letter Sounds
This simple card game is a fun, easy way to teach your child letter sounds.
Materials
Directions
Cut the cardstock paper into small squares, about six of each color. Assign each color a letter, and write the letters on the squares. If possible use the same letter as the first letter of the color’s name, for example a piece of blue construction paper for B.
Go through each of the cards you created, identifying the letters and making the sound each letter makes.
Spread out the cards on the floor. Choose three letters and place them in front of your child.
Ask your child to find the letter that different words start with, enunciating the first letter. What sounds does b-b-boat start with? B-b-boat. Your child will then choose the letter among the cards you laid out. If he is unable to, repeat the letter sounds on each card. That’s the T. T-t-tee. Truck starts with t! What does b-b-boat start with? B-b-b.
Repeat the game with a different set of three letters.
