How to Use This Pack

Eight cut and glue pages, each with two, three or five letter trays at the top and picture cards to cut out at the bottom. Children say each picture's name, listen for its first sound and glue the card under the letter that makes it. The pages go s and m, t and b, c, f and p, d, g and h, l, r and n, k, w and j, v, y and z, and last the short vowels a, e, i, o and u. Letters that share a sound, like c and k, are never on the same page. The answer keys show every card in its tray with its name.

In the Classroom

Name the pictures together first, then let children sort the cards on their desks before gluing, so they can move a card that is in the wrong tray. A pocket chart with the same letters makes a good whole-class sort before the page.

At Home

Cut out the cards together and say each name, stretching out the first sound. Sort them on the table first, then glue them down.

Tips for Success

  • Say the picture's name out loud
  • Listen for the very first sound
  • Sort the cards before you glue them
  • Apple, egg, igloo, octopus and umbrella start with short vowels
  • Cut on the dashed lines
