Phonics Teaching Resource Workbook: Beginning and Ending Sounds


Beginning & Ending Sounds
Grade Level: Preschool - 1st Grade
Price: $7.99
Product #: 1003391
Sample Pages


Getting children ready for academic success should begin early. It is important, during these early years, to shape children's attitudes toward school and learning in a positive manner. Young children need frequent repetition and simplified directions. The activities should be engaging and visually stimulating.

The purpose of this workbook is to promote children's development and learning in an enjoyable way. The book is designed to introduce young learners to new concepts and reinforce ones already learned. The skill pages are perfect for enrichment, classroom practice, tutoring, home schooling, or just for fun.

In this book, student will focus on the following concepts:

Beginning Sounds - children practice recognizing consonant sounds at the beginning of simple words. Using a combination of visual, aural, and tactile senses supports the development of phonemic awareness. When children see, hear, and touch the initial sound of a word, they become familiar with the concepts related to beginning sounds.

Ending Sounds - By building on skills learned in the first section, children learn the more difficult task of discerning consonant sounds in word endings. To aid in this task, this book uses everyday words common to children's environments. These words activate the children's prior knowledge, enabling them to focus on the word itself.

Beginning and Ending Sounds - Children review consonant sounds at the beginning and ending of a word using acquired skills. Children must synthesize prior knowledge to complete the complex task.
