About this resource

S Sound Space Sort: initial sound sorting. A sorting mat and ten space picture cards. Children say each word, listen to the first sound and sort the pictures that start with s from those that do not. What’s included: • Teacher guide with Development Matters links. • Sorting mat. • 10 picture cards. Ideas for using it: • Sound sort: Say the word. Does it start with s? • Snake sound: Make a long sssss sound for each s word. • Odd one out: Sun, star, moon. Which does not start with s? • Silly sentence: Sam saw a star in space. Linked to Development Matters (three and four-year-olds): • Develop their phonological awareness, so that they can: … recognise words with the same initial sound, such as money and mother. • Use a wider range of vocabulary. • Listen with increased attention to sounds. • Play with one or more other children, extending and elaborating play ideas. Supplied as a ready-to-print PDF (A4 landscape). Print, laminate and reuse all year.Read more

What you get, one file

  • PDFActivity

This pack is print and go. Our catalogue does not list an editable copy of it, so none is offered here rather than promising a file nobody has opened. Page counts are not printed either, because we do not publish them and a guessed number is worse than none.
