Home Learning: Initial Sound

Home learning focus: identify the first sound in a word. Initial sound - The sound that the word begins with. (cat, rose, Monday)

Identifying the initial sound helps with reading (using the initial sound along with the picture to predict unknown words). Beginner writers use their sound letter awareness to produce text; identifying the key sounds and writing them in a sequence. This process begins with identifying the first sound in the word and matching it with the letter.

Practice saying the words of each picture (in the row) with your child.
Ask them to listen to the sound at the beginning of each word.
Choose the two words that begin with the same sound.

Additional task - create a list of some more words that begin with the same sound.

 
 
lion - gate - lip
 
moon - mouth - nose
 
watch - cup - window
 
worm - head - hill
 
tiger - book - balloon
