alongside other Centers-in-a-Bag.
Introducing Beginning Sound MatchBeginning Sound Match provides a fun setting for students topractice matching beginning sounds in words using pictureCards. Students must isolate the beginning sound of eachpicture on their mat and then use their auditory discriminationskills to find a matching picture Card. Included are 24 different
beginning consonant and vowel sounds. The double-sided GameMats have a unique combination of six beginning sounds on eachside, offering a variety of challenge and fun. This practice buildsearly phonological awareness skills and prepares students formore advanced sound study.
Model the ActivityBegin by modeling the game, discussing every step withstudents. Start with a single Game Mat for practice. Reviewand name the pictures, emphasizing beginning sounds bystretching them out: zzzipper. Explain that the object of thegame is to cover all the pictures on the mat by making a matchfor each beginning sound. Turn over a Learning Deck Card, andhave students name it and say its beginning sound. Ask if ithas the same beginning sound as any of the pictures on themat. If a match can be made, place the Card on that space. Ifno match can be made, return the Card to the bottom of thestack. For example, on Game Mat 2A, place zookeeper overzipper and return gum to the bottom of the stack becausethere are no pictures on the mat with the beginning sound /g/.
