What's the sound, Mico? Use your class' favorite puppet (in this example, Mico) to teach them about initial sounds in single-syllable words. Using the picture cards provided, choose three and lay them out in front of learners. When Mico says a sound, scholars determine which of the images begins with that sound. They say the word, segmenting the initial phoneme. The picture cards are in full-color and can be printed in multiple sizes. Do this with middle and final sounds, too!
