Twelve pictures, each in its own box with a space to write a letter. Children say the picture name, stretch out the first sound and write the letter that makes it. Every picture starts with a different consonant, so the sheet covers twelve letters at once. It is the step after circling the letter: now the child has to remember how the letter looks too. Page 2 is the answer key.
