Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Isolate the first sound in a pictured word
  • Represent the initial phoneme with j, k, or l
  • Blend a supplied onset with the rest of a printed word

Teaching tips

  • Agree on each picture name, then say its first sound separately before choosing j, k or l.
  • Read the completed word to check that the chosen letter matches the picture.

Skills covered

  • Phoneme isolation — the beginning sound is separated from the word.
  • Grapheme selection — j, k, or l represents the heard onset.
  • Picture-print integration — the image and partial spelling confirm one another.
