About this resource
Letter A Beginning Sounds is an engaging phonics game that helps early years and Foundation children learn words starting with the short A sound. Students roll a die and move their marker around the game board, covering the corresponding letter A picture. This can be played solo, trying to connect 4 pictures or cover all 20 spaces in a time limit. Or play with a partner, competing to cover the most pictures or 10 spaces first. Use Letter A Beginning Sounds in literacy centres, small groups, partner work, or as an early finisher activity to liven up letter A phonics practice. The game builds skills in beginning A sounds, counting, following directions, and turn-taking. With just a game board, die, markers and game pieces, young learners will beg to play this hands-on file folder game again and again!
