Ten pictures, each with three letters beside it. Children say the name of the picture, listen for its first sound and circle the letter that makes it: a sun starts with s, a fox with f. The two wrong letters never make the same sound as the right one, so there are no trick answers such as c and k. Every picture is a simple outline to colour afterwards. It suits preschool, pre-K and kindergarten. Page 2 is the answer key.
