What your child practices.
Writing the missing FIRST sound reverses the usual listening game: your child hears the word, finds its first sound, and writes the letter that carries it. First-letter writing is the starting line of spelling.
- Identifying a first sound
- Writing the matching letter
- Using a letter bank when stuck
- Saying the completed word to check
On the sheet: Write the missing first letter for each picture word.
