Today I’m sharing another set of clip cards – this time, your child looks at the featured picture and clips the letter that begins its name.

These alphabet cards are a great letter sounds activity for preschool. Plus, they come in an easy and more challenging set for a total of 52 free cards!

This 52-card set comes with two cards for each letter.  The green set is the simpler set.  That’s because the letter sound choices are quite different from each other.  Check out the sample above.  The /p/ sound is made with the lips, the /m/ sound is made by keeping the lips together, and the /k/ sound is made at the back of the throat.

This card is part of the more challenging set.  Whenever possible, I included two letters whose sounds are made in the same part of the mouth.  In this case, /k/ and /g/ are both made in the back of the throat.

I used these clip cards with my Three, who is learning the alphabet and letter sounds through daily hands-on activities.  While my older children would have had zero trouble with this at 3 1/2, my little guy is still working to identify the beginning sound of a word.  Because of that, I gave him a lot of support for each card.

Before we started, we divided the cards into red and green and did just the simpler set.  I also kept the vowels out, as he doesn’t know their sounds yet.

Note: Whenever you see a letter in brackets (such as /k/), I am saying the letter’s sound and not its name.

“What’s this picture?”

“A penguin!”

“That’s right.  Let’s look at the sounds.  What does a “c” represent?”

“I don’t know.”  (Often he remembered, but for the sake of this example we’ll pretend he didn’t.)

“/k/!  Does penguin start with /k/?”

“/k/, /k/, penguin.  No!”

“That’s right.  How about the letter g?  Let’s try it.  /g/, /g/, genguin.  Does that sound right?”

“(laughing) No!”

“What sound does p represent?”

“/p/.  /p/, /p/, penguin.  Yeah!”

He didn’t always have the correct answers, but by doing this activity together he’s learning how to hear the phonemes (individual sounds) in words.  Such an important pre-reading skill!

We hope you can use these!

    Anna,
    A group of ladies at my church wanted to offer free summer tutoring. I have been scouring the internet for free resources that would be fun for our kiddos. I was so excited when I came across your site! What a blessing these games will be to our struggling learners and what a blessing your resources are to me, as I’m trying to collect resources for a non funded outreach. Thank you for your generosity.

    I have been trying to download these, they are amazing, but the download stops and then locks up my pc, I have tried on a couple of different computers, it seems to be a problem on your end either adobe or something else. I was hoping you could look at it or maybe send them to me through my email. You are very talented and I really enjoy using your activities with my intervention groups Thank you.
