Engage the children in a fun activity where they ssslide around the room while practicing the ‘sss’ sound. Then, have them search for items in the classroom or in a book that start with the letter ‘S’. This interactive approach helps children associate the sound with the letter and recognize it in different words. Encourage them to think of ‘S’ words at home too.

Let’s Play: Matching Sounds to Letters – Match pictures to letter sounds – Find the picture that starts with F, L, M, N, R, S – Drag each picture to the right letter – If a picture is a fish, it starts with the ‘F’ sound – Listen for the sound at the beginning – The letter L sounds like ‘L’ in ‘lion’ – Ready, set, match! | This slide is for a class activity where children will engage in a matching game to reinforce their understanding of letter sounds. Provide a variety of pictures that start with the consonants F, L, M, N, R, S. Guide the students to drag each picture to the corresponding letter that represents the initial sound of the pictured object. For example, a picture of a fish should be matched with the letter ‘F’. This activity helps in developing phonemic awareness by associating sounds with letters. Encourage the children to say the words out loud as they match them to enhance auditory learning. Possible variations of the activity could include matching objects in the classroom, using flashcards, or even matching actions to sounds.

Sound Hunt Adventure – Let’s go on a classroom sound hunt! – Find objects starting with F, L, M, N, R, S – Look for ‘Fish’, ‘Leaf’, ‘Moon’, ‘Net’, ‘Ring’, ‘Sun’ – Team up for the sound search – Count how many items we discover! | This class activity is designed to help Pre-k students associate uppercase letters with their corresponding consonant sounds. Set up the classroom with various objects that start with the letters F, L, M, N, R, and S. Encourage the children to explore the room and find items that begin with these sounds. They should work in pairs or small groups to foster teamwork. As they find each item, they can practice saying the word and the starting sound together. Keep track of the number of objects found for each sound to review as a class at the end. Possible variations of the activity could include drawing items that start with the sounds, using flashcards, or even bringing items from home that start with the target sounds.
