This is an excellent activity for students to practise matching sounds with letters and begin the process of blending. Working in groups pupils will listen to a sound and they have to find its letter. When they have more than one letter they must blend the sounds to make two- to three-letter words.

  1. read letters
  2. segment sounds in words to spell them
  3. listen to sounds and read the letters
  4. read letters to blend sounds to make a word
