Spring Beginning Sound Clip Cards

These phonics clip cards for beginning sound make a wonderful Valentine's Day fine motor literacy center for preschoolers and kindergartners. Students will gain practice in recognizing the beginning sounds of words as well as identifying beginning blends and digraphs using real photographic images.

What is included:

• There are 20 beginning sound cards

• There is 1 beginning digraph card

• There are 7 beginning blend 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. By storing in a box, the teacher can create an easy to set up and store literacy center.

When to Use:

• Literacy Center - The teacher can place the clip cards and clips in a literacy center 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.
