Using two different letter-sounds for sorting pictures, helps your child isolate the beginning sounds and to compare them. For this lesson, you could have your child sort objects from your beginning sound containers (c, m) instead of pictures.
Forest Fun – Lesson 6
“I can sort pictures that begin with c and m.”
Objective: To review letters c and m and to sort pictures by their beginning sound. (RF.K.1, RF.K.3)
Materials: letter cards (c, m), picture cards (c, m).
Procedures: Place letter cards c and m on the table. Ask your child to identify each letter and to trace them with her index finger while saying the sound that each letter makes. Give your child a small basket of picture cards. She will choose a card one at a time. If the picture begins with /c/, she will place it beside the letter c. If it begins with /m/, she will place it beside the m.
Conclusion: When all the cards have been placed in their correct rows, have your child name the letters and pictures from left to right.
