Knowing these letters and their sounds is an important step in learning to read. This book provides fun activities that introduce consonant letters and their sounds. The activities will help your child identify sounds that fall at the beginning and the end of words. Through tracing and writing, matching, games, mazes, and stories, your child will receive lots of practice distinguishing between the different consonant sounds. These activities build reading skills and give your child opportunities to decode words, phrases, and sentences. To get the most from the activities, follow these simple steps: * Find a comfortable place where you and your child can work quietly together. Encourage your child to go at his or her own pace. © Help your child if he or she gets stuck. © Offer lots of praise and support. © Most of all, remember that learning should be fun!
