Sound-Charms Studio

For the grown-up

Start with the map example: “Map starts with /m/.” Point to the circled m, using the letter’s sound rather than its alphabet name.

Name moon, sock and pot together. Listen for each first sound, then invite your child to point to or circle its letter. If they need help, repeat the sound and show the matching letter. They don’t need to read independently or finish the page.

Answers: moon—m; sock—s; pot—p.

A grown-up reads along. Try one activity at a time, and stop whenever your child needs a break. These are invitations to practise together, not tests.
