How to Use This Pack

Eight pages that link letters to the last sound of a word. On the first two, each row has a letter and three pictures to circle the one that ends with it. The next two give a picture and three letters to circle the one it ends with. Then two pages of twelve pictures to write the last letter of, and two to write both the first and the last letter. Every word ends with a plain sound spelled with one letter, such as cat, sun, pig and box. No words are printed, so children listen for the sound; the answer keys name every picture for the grown-up reading them out.

In the Classroom

Say each picture's name together before children start, holding the last sound: sunnn. Have children touch their head for the first sound and their toes for the last. The first and last letter pages suit small groups, where the teacher can hear each child say both sounds.

At Home

Say each picture's name with your child, holding the last sound a little longer. Then play a game: you say a word, and your child tells you the sound it ends with.

Tips for Success

  • Say the picture's name out loud
  • Hold the last sound: suuunnn, buuusss
  • Think: which letter makes that sound?
  • Box and fox end with x
  • Check the answer key for each picture's name
