We read these flashcard sounds like this:
"A says /a/, /a/, apple."
"B says /b/, /b/, bird."
You can use these in many different ways. The following are some suggestions:
-
Print 2 copies and play Memory or Go Fish
-
Use as flashcards for naming letters
-
Use as flashcards for naming sounds
-
Draw a card and write a word that begins with that sound
-
Build an alphabet train (put the letters in order)
Letter/Sound Cards
Kindergarten Words
These are the words that your child is expected to be able to read by the end of kindergarten. We will focus on about 8 words each month. Your child should learn to read these in a "snap"! This means that they should not sound out the word; instead, they should just look at it and automatically recognize it.
