Initial Sounds – SATPIN

The SATPIN Initial Sounds resource is designed by dyslexia specialists to support early phonics development through engaging, hands-on activities. Focusing on the six key initial sounds— s, a, t, p, i, n —this resource encourages children to recognise and isolate sounds at the beginning of words. Each activity sheet includes a set of images where children cut and stick only those that begin with the target sound. Every sound group includes four correct images and two distractors to promote focused listening and sound discrimination.
