Beginning Sound Sort - Provide a cupcake pan for sorting. Begin by using 3 tins, gradually increasing to 6. Place pictures of items that have different beginning sounds into each tin. Say each word: bike, heart, and sun. Next, provide several items and/or pictures that begin with the three sounds. Have children sort the items/pictures according to their beginning sounds.
Sound Boxes - Promotes one to one correspondence with the individual sounds heard in a word. Begin with consonant vowel consonant words such as dog, cat, mat, (three letters represented by three sounds heard). Draw three boxes. Say the word - dog, repeat the word - dog so that children can hear each sound in the word. As they listen, children are to push up a counter for each sound heard. As they become familiar with the activity increase the boxes. For example draw four boxes, and say a variety of words that differ from one sound to four sounds: I, a, me, dog, cats, dogs......

How many sounds heard Have children sort pictures according to the number of sounds heard. This increases in difficulty since a sound may be represented by more than one letter. For example a vowel combination, two letters, represents one sound as in the word train. Five letters are represented by four sounds: /t/, /r/, /ai/, /n/.
