Difficult Letter ID-3
NWF - Alphabetic Principle
Identify Letter-Sound Corresp.
The purpose of this activity is to give the student an opportunity to practice associating letter names with sounds. You'll say a sound and show a page printed with three letters. The student will select the letter that spells the sound from the letters on the page. This is an advanced activity because the letters selected look similar and can be easily confused.

Materials: At least 24 pages with three letters printed on each. (See the Downloads area.)

We are going to practice linking sounds and letters. I'll say a sound. When you hear the sound I want you to look at the three letters on the page. Choose which letter goes with the sound. Look carefully because many letters look or sound alike.

Watch me. The first sound is /b/. The letters on the page are O, D, and B. I know that the /b/ sound is spelled with the letter B. My answer is /b/, B.

[K] [S] [B]
Show the first page, with the letters
O, D, and B.


Now let's try one together. The next sound is /k/. The letters on the page are K, H, and F. What letter spells the sound /k/? N. Our answer is /k/, K.
[K] [T] [F]
Point to the letter K.


Now it's your turn. The next sound is /f/. Look at the letters. Which of the three letters on the page spells the /f/ sound?
If Correct: Good. The /f/ sound is spelled with the letter F.

If Incorrect: Let's look at it again: /f/. Repeat the sound. What are the three letters? Which letter spells /f/?


[F] [M] [T]
Correct: /f/, F
Correct: /f/, F


Let's try the sound /d/. Which of these three letters spells /d/?
If Correct: Good. The /d/ sound is spelled with the letter D.

If Incorrect: Let's look at it again. The sound is /d/. Does B, D, or P spell the /d/ sound?


[S] [D] [K]
Correct: /d/, D
