In small groups today, Pre-Kers combined Math and Literacy as we listened for and identified the initial sounds in words. Then sorted them by initial sounds. Hearing each sound in a word is just as important as being able to identify each letter in a word. Being able to hear each sound prepares students for both reading and writing. You can practice this skill in a very informal way…traveling to and from school, during bath time, or at the dinner table. Super easy to make into a game, have fun with it!
