The problem
Bed, bell, bus: he hears the /b/ but can't say what letter it is
Connecting a letter to its first sound is the first step toward reading. Children often know the sound or the letter name but can't link them.
Name vs. sound
Ask 'what letter does bed start with?' and a child may say 'bee' or the whole word 'bed'. The task has two parts.
Same sound, different letters
Children who learned b for /b/ are thrown when a word starts with c, k or q. One sound can have several letters.
Listening for just the start
Words come out as one lump of sound. Children must pull off the first piece, which is harder than it seems.
Words with the same first letter are grouped together, so children hear the same sound several times in a row before moving on.

Questions
Before you buy.
Are the words grouped by letter?
Yes. Items repeat the same first letter, like bed, bell and bus, so children hear the sound several times before it changes.
Does my child need to know all the letters?
No. Start with the letters your child knows and add more. The words are simple and familiar.
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 4 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.
What if it isn’t right for us?
Email support@pencillane.com within 30 days and we refund the full $3. No form, no questions.
