Three letters across the top, each with three empty boxes below it, and nine pictures along the bottom to cut out. Children say each picture name, listen for the first sound and glue the picture under the letter that makes it. Cutting and gluing keeps little hands busy and makes a sorting game of the sounds. Every letter has exactly three pictures. Page 2 shows where each picture goes.
