In this activity the child learns that some sounds can be spelled more than one way. They then practice sorting words by those different spellings of a given sound.

Presentation

  1. Take one of the Key Sound Sort envelopes to a mat or table. Place it in the upper right corner.

Control of Error

Variations and Extensions

  • Two children could work together. One child reads a word aloud without letting the other child see. The second child tries to remember which spelling of the sound is used in that word. The word is revealed and the second child can see if they were right. Then the children should switch roles.
