About this resource

This letter O emergent reader is a great book for practising beginning sounds. This book is a low prep activity for students to make and take home to practise the initial sound of the letter O. These beginning readers are perfect for any Early Years or Foundation classroom where students are learning about letters and letter sounds.

Students will colour each picture and then cut the pages apart. The pages will then be stapled together in a book for students to read over and over to practise the letter O sound. There are pictures that focus on the short O sound.

This emergent reader includes a cover page and seven different "O is for..." pages that all focus on the short sound of the letter O in the initial position of the word. For each page, excluding the first one, it includes two letter O things.
