From Sound to Letter

When you hear a sound, you should be able to find the letter that makes it. This is called sound–letter matching.

Listen: "mmm". Which letter makes this sound? It is the letter m.

Try These

  • "sss" — the letter s
  • "aaa" — the letter a
  • "ttt" — the letter t
  • "d" — the letter d

Play a Game

Lay out the letters s, a, t, m, d, n. Say the letter names in your mind, then you or your partner says a sound and you point to the correct letter as fast as you can!
