This pack is a collection of PowerPoints and printable resources in pdf to help children recognise the initial sounds in words.
(Not to be confused with later alliterative activities the children do in KS1 and KS2 when they can already recognise letters and read words.)
They can be helped to do this by tuning into speech sounds; firstly with the initial sound of the letter and later by recognising other sounds in word such as the middle a and t in cat.
This pack containing over 40 resources will help children to develop these important pre-reading skills.
ALLITERATION STORIES:
For each story there is a PowerPoint and a pdf game to print. The objective is for the children to recognise the initial sound in each object that the person in the story passes (for example as Ben walks to the baths, he passes a bear, a ball, a burger, a balloon and a bike.)
Ben goes to the baths
Hannah takes a hike
Joe goes to the gym
Poppy goes to the park
Shahida goes to the shops
Tom goes to town
Bertha the Bus
Tony the Taxi
