Letters & Sounds

Pre-reading skills are the axis on which Pre-K and Kindergarten rotate. Nearly everything we introduce young children to revolves around their developing reading skills. There are several milestones that have to be met before young children become readers. Identifying letters and their sounds is one of those pre-reading milestones. Below you will find multiple letter printables to help the young children in your life learn their letters and sounds.

The books below are designed to help your child/students learn their letters along with the letter sound. More information on how I use My Letter Books in my classroom is included with each book file.

Letter Searches:

The kindergarten teacher I student taught under, Mrs. Link, used a letter search when her class did the letter B. I used that very same worksheet when I became a kindergarten teacher. One letter search wasn’t enough for me so I created my own full set. I used it every year in my kindergarten class as morning work. Since moving to pre-k I now use them as a teacher directed center.

Letter Color By Codes:

Letter color by codes are a fun, engaging, have to think way to practice letter identification. We offer two different kinds of letter color by codes, single letter and multi-letter. I teach letters in combination with each other so I mostly use the multi-letter color by codes. However, my colleague teaches one new letter a week so she needs single letter color by codes. I have my pre-k students do their color by codes as a teacher directed center. They become increasingly independent the more they do, they have truly amazing minds!

Beginning Sound Circle Maps:

Beginning sound circle maps are a great way for young learners to practice sound differentiation and identification. Each circle map has six pictures with beginning sounds that match the focus letter – sound identification. There are three additional pictures that do not have matching beginning sounds – differentiation. Not only are students matching the focus sound they are also listening for what does match. Beginning sound circle maps require critical thinking and use of newly gained letter and sound knowledge.
