About this resource
These phonics clip cards for beginning sound make a wonderful autumn fine motor literacy centre for Pre-school and Foundation children. Students will gain practice in recognising the beginning sounds of words as well as identifying beginning blends and digraphs using real photographic images.
What is included:
There are 11 beginning sound cards
There are 2 beginning digraph cards
There are 4 beginning blend cards
There are 2 beginning trigraph cards
The cards are differentiated for students who need more support in figuring out the beginning sound of each picture. One set includes the word typed out with the beginning sound, blend or digraph missing for the student to identify. The other set just has the real picture for the student to identify its beginning sounds.
How to Use:
Students will look at the picture on each clip card and say the word that is represented by the picture. The student will then use a clip to mark the correct beginning sound, beginning blend or beginning digraph. Once completed, the beginning sound clip cards and clips can be easily stored inside a task box.
When to Use:
Literacy Centre - The teacher can place the clip cards and clips in a literacy centre for students to complete independently or with a partner.
Small Group Activity - The teacher can pull aside small groups of students who need more practice identifying beginning sounds.
Morning Tubs or Baskets - The cards and clips can be placed inside a morning bin for students to work on as their classmates arrive to class.
These phonics clip cards are a great, low prep, fine motor task for teachers to create for students. The clip cards just need to be printed and cut apart. The teacher can choose to laminate the cards for durability.
