Scholars sort words based on their initial phoneme or sound. Learners are given two backpacks, each with a picture card; they search and match picture cards with the same initial sound as the ones on each backpack.

Unlike regular dominoes, these have pictures of simple objects. Images are matched (like pig and plant) based on their initial phonemic sound. Learners will have fun playing and saying various words, matching initial letter sounds as...

Scholars sort picture cards based on the initial phoneme they hear as they say the name of each image. They pick a card, say its name, then place it in one of five bags based on how its initial phoneme matches the initial phoneme...

Build phonological awareness with this fun game focused on isolating and identifying medial phonemes. This game board contains an image on each square; when the child lands on a square, they must say the medial sound of the word they...

This great activity incorporates counting, phoneme segmenting, and class photos. In pairs, learners take turns saying, counting, and checking the number of phoneme segments found in their classmates' names. They count the phonemes and...

Build phonological awareness with an activity that challenges learners to sort picture cards based on the number of phonemes each has.

Here is another fun and engaging way to help youngsters build phonological awareness. In pairs, they use the provided picture cards to sound out segments of words. As they slide the picture together they say a segment of the...

This phonics activity engages listening skills and concentration. Young scholars listen to a teacher-made recording and use the provided worksheet to number the final phonemes they hear.

Pre-readers use the provided cards to say and sort based on the number of phonemes in each word.

Young learners build phonemic awareness and strong phoneme blending skills. Pairs guess the image on the card based on the word segment sounds given by blending what they hear.

Peers pair up to find, identify and match medial phonemes. Peer one pulls a card or object from a bag, names it, then says its medial sound.—peer two attempts to find a picture or object whose medial sound matches the partner. 

Little learners identify final phonemes found in various words. They play a game where they pick a card, say the name of the object on the card, identify the final phoneme, then match it to an image with the same final phoneme. Whoever...

Matching medial phonemes can be as easy as playing a game of dominoes! These dominoes contain pictures of items children can say. As they say each word aloud, they work to match the medial sound to one on an adjacent card. Just like real...

Sound sorting can be a fun way to get little ones phonologically prepared for a life of reading. In this activity, learners sort picture cards based on the long or short vowel sound they make when said aloud.

Set up a listening center, record the provided script, and see how well your class can manipulate phonemes based on the instructions you've provided. This center-based activity builds the phonological awareness and phoneme manipulation...

Scholars make new words out of old ones by manipulating phonemes. Pupils mix and match initial, medial, and final phonemes to change words like cap into cup or head into bed.

Reading readiness can be a fun skill to foster. Scholars manipulate phonemes to change one word into another. They pick picture cards, say the object's name on the card, then change the final phoneme to create a new word. They then find...

Once your scholars know their letter sounds and recognize them in words, have them try making new words by manipulating phonemes. Pupils are given a word change picture board and a stack of word pictures. They pick a card and place it...

This neat idea gets kids to use phonics and puzzle-solving skills. Pairs take turns picking picture cards from a pile, say the name of the object on the card, drop a letter to turn that word into a new word, then look for the new word on...

Scholars subtract initial phonemes from given picture word cards to create new words. Feet becomes eat, and shelf becomes elf.

Little learners will love being able to blend sounds together to make words. This game provides eight onsets and eight rimes that can be used to mix and match to sound out words. This activity is to be completed in pairs and is a great...

Scholars match initial, medial, and final phonemes to individual graphemes. They pick a card, say its name, then find the letter that makes that sound. If the card is a monkey, the learner finds the letter m, matching the grapheme to the...

There are three spinners to use in this phonic activity. Spinner one contains digraphs, spinner two contains vowels, and spinner three contains consonants. Learners spin each spinner, write down the letters they get, blend them to make a...

Little learners place a picture card on a magnetic board, say the name of the object on the card, then sift through alphabet magnets to find and spell the word they said.
