About this resource

What's inside this resource

Letter P Beginning Sound Sort This phonics resource teaches preschool and kindergarten students to recognize the beginning letter P sound. Students sort picture cards of objects that do or do not start with the P sound onto correct mats. This hands-on activity develops early literacy skills like letter-sound recognition, differentiation, and sorting. Teachers can implement this resource in small groups, literacy centers, morning work, or emergency sub plans. Other uses include fine motor centers using the precise sorting motions or file folder games placing mats inside folders. Add magnets to cards and sort on baking trays too. The 3-page download provides an instructional activity that is low-prep and easy to setup, store, and reuse. Simply print, laminate if desired, cut out cards, and students sort the picture cards onto the correct beginning letter P or not P mats. This activity informally assesses skills like distinguishing beginning sounds, letter-sound correspondence, and matching.
