About This Resource:

• These letter-beginning sound matching task cards perfect small groups, morning bins, word work, or independent center activity for fall!
• These are the perfect early literacy to accompany a pumpkin or fall themed read aloud anytime during the season.

This Resource Includes:

• 26 letter cards with a corresponding beginning sound picture card
• Recording sheet
• Picture key
• Answer key
• Please note: in alignment with the science of reading, the picture "box" is used to represent the Xx sound since this sound does not occur at the beginning of words that are familiar to children. This is the only letter/sound match that is not a beginning sound. It is noted on the bottom of the card that the picture represents the *ending sound. There is an alternative included (x-ray) in case you choose to teach Xx this way.

Directions for Use:

Preparation:

• Print, cut, and laminate letter and picture cards
• Print recording sheets

How to play:

• Mix up letter and picture cards.
• Have children sort the cards to find the picture that corresponds with the beginning sound of each letter card.
• For example, if they pick up the letter Dd card, they will look for the card with the picture of the dinosaur on it.
• Since the dinosaur card has the #23 on it, they will go to spot #23 on their recording sheet and write the letter: Dd.

Variations:

• This can be played without the recording sheet if children are not yet ready to write their letters and only working on recognition.
• Simply have them match the letter cards with the object cards.
• FUN TIP: These can also be used as partner cards when you need to pair up students but want them to practice letter/sound correspondence! Pass them out and let children find their match! (*A few cards may need to be copied and used more than once if you have more than 26 children in your class/group)
