First sound awareness

Tried and tested classroom activities:

Books, songs and tounge twisters

One of my favourite resources for teaching first sound awareness skills. Each page focusses on a different letter sound. For example 'Six silly sailors selling socks by the sea'. Great for 'I' spy' type games.
