Why get the bundle
- Phonological awareness grows with variety. Games, bingo and task cards let you rehearse the same sound match in new ways, which keeps preschoolers engaged.
The problem
Cash starts like ... cob? Children match letters, not sounds
Hearing that two words begin the same takes ears, not eyes. Preschoolers often match by meaning or rhyme, or by the picture, instead of the first sound.
Rhyme gets in the way
Asked to match 'pop', a child might choose 'top' because it rhymes. The ending sounds jump out before the beginning.
Spelling sounds confuse
'Cash' starts with /k/, like 'cob'. Children who expect the same letter may miss that kit and keg also start with /k/.
Holding two words in mind
The child must keep one word in mind while hearing others. That working memory is a stretch for a four-year-old.
Prompts like 'cash starts like ___' give three words. Children say each aloud and listen for the same first sound, which trains the ear before any letter work.

Questions
Before you buy.
Does my child need to know letters first?
No. This is a listening task. Children match what they hear, which is the skill that comes before connecting sounds to letters.
Why do some matches have different letters?
Because /k/ is spelled c in cash and k in kit. Matching by sound first helps children later when letter patterns change.
How do I get the file?
The download link appears right after checkout and lands in your inbox at the same time. One PDF with 24 pages. No account needed.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. One teacher or one household can print unlimited copies for their own students, this year and next.
Will it print in color?
The pages are designed to print in black and white, so they print clean on any home or school printer and do not eat a cartridge.
