Activity 1- Our sound box/bag

Make collections of objects with names beginning with the same sound. Create a song, such as ‘What have we got in our sound box today?’ (see video below) and then show the objects one at a time. Emphasise the initial sound (e.g. s-s-s-snake, s-s-s-sock, s-s-s-sausage)

Look, listen and note Look, listen and note how well you child can:

■ can recall the list of objects beginning with the same sound

■ can offer their own sets of objects and ideas to end the story

■ discriminate between the sounds and match to the objects correctly
