Ask an adult to find up to 6 objects for each of the letter sounds s, a and t and to write the letters s, a and t on separate pieces of paper.
Today’s task: Can you sort the objects by their beginning sound? Don’t worry if you don’t recognise the written letters yet-the focus is on hearing and saying the beginning sounds in the words.
Good morning Miss Siswick, my dad chose 18 objects starting with either “s”, “t” or “a”. I split them in 3 groups:
– Group “a”: apple, alphabet board, aspirin pills, almonds, allergy pills, antiseptic
– Group “s”: sugar, a pair of shoes, sweets, a pair of scissors, a spoon, a straw
– Group “t”: tomato juice, a toothbrush, a teddy bear, a tiger, a tea bag and some toothpaste
Well done, Hermine. Can you tell me which sound you hear at the beginning of sugar and shoes?
Morning nursery, enjoy your phonics.
Brilliant Hermine. Good phonics but by grouping them you also did good maths too!
Philip is loving this phonic work! He is finding these sounds all the time when we are reading. I think sssss is his favourite!
Well done, Philip. I love the photo of your phonics work. At first I thought you had a sheep for ‘a’ and then I realised it was an alpaca!
We had for S spider, spiderman, snail, sword, soap,scissors (our favourite group)
For t Trex/ tee-shirt / toilet roll/tea pot
For a: Alligator aeroplane angel apple
Well done, Leopold. Are you sure that you can hear the ‘a’ sound at the beginning of ‘aeroplane’ and ‘angel’?
Dear Miss Siswick,
Nicolas had to order the following objects + one person to the correct sound group:- apple, tin, salt, Thomas Tank engine, spoon, tomato, alligator, Sophia. He ordered them correctly:
A: apple, alligator
S: Sophia, salt, spoon

Well done, Nicolas. What does Thomas the tank engine begin with?
Dear Miss Siswick,

Hello,
I had Tricycle, till, tin can, toy, turtle (a false one) and a small truck for T; Scooter, scarf and shoes for S and ambulance, apple, Anna and Adelaide for A.
Well done, Adelaide. Can you hear a ‘s’ sound at the beginning of shoes?
Joey identified ‘a’ for apple, ‘t’ for train track and ‘s’ for scissors.
Though, he has ants in his pants and won’t stay still to try to write the letters….we will try again later ?♀️
Great start, Joey. You can try to write the letters later.
Dear all,
We had 18 drawings on the floor. 6 starting with the letter a, 6 with the letter s and 6 starting with the letter t. I had to put next to each drawing the right letter. It was fun I played with my sister. I found A for apple, ant, airplane, Anna, alligator and alphabet. S for sand, seed, snake, sun, soup, song. T for train, tower, table, teddy, tennis and tree.
Wow, that’s a lot of drawings! Great sound sorting, Anna. Can you hear an ‘a’ sound at the beginning of airplane?
