ThinkabaraBeginning, Middle or End Sound Cards
Pick a sound, say each picture word, and color the box where you hear it: beginning, middle or end.
How to use it
Hearing where a sound is in a word (phoneme isolation) is a key phonemic awareness skill in kindergarten and 1st grade, and it comes before spelling.
Stretch the word out slowly — “ssssun” — and slide a finger across the three boxes. Use counters or clothespins on the boxes for a reusable center.
