Phonemic Awareness Activity

Self-Correcting feature
Purpose
Reinforce beginning sounds
Differentiate between 2 (or more) beginning sounds


Materials+How to Make

  • Enlarged T-Chart 
    • I used a poster maker and laminated for durability
  • Pictures w/ same beginning sounds  (10 pictures + Upper and Lowercase Letter)
    • I made this using PowerPoint and laminated  
  • Ziplock Bags Labeled w/ Letter Sound
    • I have 26 Ziplock bags (26 letters)  
    • Do not put all the bags out at once.
  • 4-5 Separate Bags for Center
    • I select letter pictures from one of the 26 bags.  
    • I mix 2 letter sound pictures+the Letters in the same bag and LABEL what letters the student will be working with in that center.  I use masking tape to write he letters and place on bag (shown in picture).  
    • I change-out the label and pictures w/ new beginning sounds or combinations.
  • Self-Correcting
    • I put the answer on the back of each picture, so students can check their work.
  • Differentiate
    • You can increase difficulty by putting letter combinations w/ similar sounds (like M/N, or E/I, G/J etc.)
    • You can increase difficulty by comparing more letter sounds (A/E.I etc.)
This center activity was time consuming making, laminating and cutting but I can use it all year and and continually rotate the sounds.
