Here are over 60 clip cards for initial sounds. This is a great phonics activity for early years or for some key stage 1 pupils. It encourages children to hear the initial sound in a CVC word. Once the initial sound is established children can then blend and read the word. This is great in a tough spot for continuous provision or as a table top activity. I like to laminate these as they can be used with clips or with dry erase felt tips.
