Students pull a picture card, identify the target sound or word, and record their response on the matching recording mat. Skills progress from alphabet sounds to more advanced word types, allowing teachers to differentiate instruction while maintaining a consistent routine.
This resource pairs especially well with hand2mind Phonics Letter Chips and Magnetic Wands, allowing students to physically build and manipulate sounds as they work through each activity. The hands-on approach strengthens sound-symbol connections and supports automaticity in early reading development.
