Description: Build letter-sound knowledge with this simple activity for pre-readers! Students practice listening to the initial sound in words to determine which ones begin with the short "A" sound. In each of the ten cards, the student is asked to choose the picture that begins with the short "A" sound. The cards include audio directions and audio labels for each picture. Additionally, this deck includes alt-text for screen readers and is accessible for students who require motor skills accommodations (as it does not include drag-and-drop exercises). Encourage students to listen to the audio labels (rather than guessing what each picture represents). Listening will reinforce letter sounds and will clarify any unknown or ambiguous vocabulary. This deck supports the standard: CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.3 Demonstrate basic knowledge of one-to-one correspondences by producing the primary sound or many of the most frequent sounds used for each consonant.
