Pictures provide abundant practice segmenting phonemes.

The sets contain 9 pictures for 3 phonemes, 3 letter cards, and an example card. The 8 sets of Initial Phoneme Sorts cover 24 initial sounds (consonants, hard and soft sounds of C and G, digraphs). Six sets of Final Phoneme Sorts target 17 final sounds. Pictures may introduce students to new vocabulary words.

The phonemes in these implicit phonics Initial and Final Phoneme Sorts are color-coordinated with the explicit phonics Phoneme Songs. Phonemes are grouped the same and background colors match.
