About this resource
Letter P Beginning Sound Sort This phonics resource teaches Nursery to Year 1 students to recognise 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 centres, morning work, or emergency cover plans. Other uses include fine motor centres 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.
