6 Fun Letter-Sound Correspondence Games For Young Readers
What Is Letter-Sound Correspondence?
Letter-sound correspondence means exactly what the words say: It is the understanding that every letter corresponds to a specific sound or set of specific sounds.
Having a good grasp of letter-sound correspondence is crucial to learning to read. Think back to when you were learning to read. You were probably told to “sound out” words that were hard for you.
This was a good suggestion, but it required your knowing the letter sounds so that you could, sound-by-sound, figure out the unknown word.
That’s because letter-sound correspondence is at the heart of phonics and is the key to cracking the alphabetic code.
Is Learning Letter-Sound Correspondence Important?
This question gets an enthusiastic “yes” from us!
Without a solid understanding of letter-sound correspondence, children will struggle to learn how to read. They can end up relying on memorizing words, which will only work for a short time.
In order to read, then, your child must first see letters in a word, match each letter to a sound, and then blend those sounds to read the word. Eventually, this becomes automatic and reading becomes fluent.
We all know that a rock-solid foundation in the basics will encourage confidence, something your child will need in their toolbelt as they embark on their journey to becoming a strong, independent reader!
6 Fun And Easy Letter-Sound Correspondence Activities
1) Say The Sound
This first activity is simple but fun and effective!
To begin, you’ll give your child a letter. Feel free to use any kind of letter you want — cut one out of cardstock, draw one on a piece of paper, etc. — but those magnetic letters that stick on the fridge may work best.
The goal of the game is for your child to say the sound that matches the letter you hand them. (Hint: you may have to remind your child not to use the letter name but only the letter sound.
)
If they say the right sound, they get a point!
To make it more interesting, you can set a specific number of points for your child to reach. Once they reach 10 points, for example, they win the game!
2) Goldfish Toss
For this activity, your child can get a little more physical! If you’d like to give it a try, gather a big bowl and a pile of Goldfish treats (or any other small snack that’s easy to toss if you don’t have Goldfish crackers on hand).
When you’re ready to begin, say the name of a letter and let your child give the matching sound. When they say the correct letter sound, they get to throw a Goldfish cracker into the bowl.
The goal is to fill up the bowl with as many Goldfish as they can. And at the end of the game, you can go straight into snack time!
3) Letter Hop
The best part of this activity is that it gets your child moving and jumping. Not only will their brain be working, but their body will be, too!
For this game, you’ll need several target letters — B, T, and M for instance.
Write each one on its own sheet of paper.
To begin, hold up one of the letters and say a sound. If the sound you said matches the letter you’re holding, then your child can make one giant hop toward you. Continue with another letter or repeat the same letter.
As your child gets better at the game, you can say a word instead of a sound. If the first sound in the word matches the letter you’re holding, then your child gets to hop.
The goal is to reach you in less than 10 turns. For even more fun, involve multiple kids and see who can reach you first!
4) Letter-Sound Treasure Hunt
This activity is another simple but effective one. It’s like your child’s very own letter-sound correspondence treasure hunt!
To play, you’ll need several magnetic letters and a pillowcase. Drop all of the letters into the pillowcase, and then say a letter sound.
The goal is for your child to grab one letter at a time — for more of a challenge, doing so without looking! — until they pull the matching letter out of the bag.
5) Limbs And Letters, Oh My!
For this game, your child won’t just hear the letter-sound correspondence with their ears. They’ll make it with their arms and legs, too!
Every time you say a letter sound, your child will try their hardest to twist their body to make the shape of the letter that matches the sound they heard. This is sure to end in fits of laughter as they wiggle across the floor to bend their body into an “S” shape.
You can take turns making shapes with your bodies and contorting yourselves to look just like the alphabet! And feel free to partner up if your child can’t quite make the shape of a letter with only their body.
6) Muffin Pan Challenge
If you’re interested in trying this activity, you’ll need six letters, a muffin pan, and two sets of different small objects (coins and paper clips work great!).
To play, you will use one of the objects, while your child uses the other. You could be coins and your child could be paperclips, for example.
Place a different letter in each cup of the muffin pan. Say the sound of one of the letters and let your child try to drop a paperclip into the right cup. If they succeed, they get to claim that cup!
Next, your child can say the sound of one of the letters and have you toss a coin into the corresponding cup. (It doesn’t hurt if you have a LOT of trouble getting your coin in the right cup!) When you get the letter correct, you claim the cup.
When all the cups are full, whoever has the most items in the pan wins. And then, while you’ve got it out, maybe you can use the muffin pan to make a sweet treat together!
Letter-Sound Correspondence For A Bright Future
We hope that these activities were helpful! Remember, all children are unique. A letter-sound correspondence game that works for one of your children may not do the trick with their siblings.
Don’t fret! There’s a perfect fit for every child. And we know that with you guiding them, your child will master letter-sound correspondence in no time!
At HOMER, we’re always here to lend a helping hand, and we would love to be a part of your routine! Our Learn & Grow app offers tons of personalized, effective activities to develop your child’s reading skills — letter-sound correspondence included!

GAMES WITH SOUNDS AND LETTERS
| Speech sounds and the letters they represent in writing play an important role in language learning.
WHAT THE DOLL LOVES TEACHING TO THINK 1. You will need a finger puppet that will tell the child what she likes. 2. Having heard the doll's first phrase, the baby should continue it with a word beginning with the same letter. For example, if the doll loves popcorn, the child might say "pie" or "pizza". 3. You can come up with a few more words for the same letter or ask the doll to tell more. 4. Pictures cut out of magazines will help your child remember words. LETTER BALLOON DEVELOPS THE THINKING 1. Cut out photographs of objects whose names begin with the letters "W" from magazines. You can also cut out the letter "W" from paper. 2. Blow up a balloon and explain to your child that the word "balloon" begins with the letter "Ш". 3. Stick pictures on the balloon. 4. Name the objects in the pictures. First, the word "ball" is pronounced, and then the name of the item: "ball-hat, ball-scarf, ball-fur coat, ball-pants." 5. You can toss the ball up while reciting the alphabet. Try to complete the alphabet without dropping the balloon on the floor once. SPEAK A SOUND DEVELOP YOUR THINKING 1. You will need a poster with the letters of the alphabet. 2. Point to a letter and ask your child to say the sound it represents. 3. First, choose letters that the child knows. 4. Then add a new letter. Children often confuse the sounds "b" and "d", so they can be added first. 5. When the baby can name all the letters and sounds with confidence, offer to play in a different way. You pronounce the sound, and the child shows the corresponding letter. SING A NEW WAY DEVELOPS LISTENING SKILLS 1. In a familiar song, replace one consonant in the chorus with another. 2. For example, you can sing "In the field a birch stood" only in the chorus instead of "Luli-lyuli, stood", sing "Buli-buli, stood" or "Muli-muli, stood." NAME THE FIRST SOUND TRAINING VISUAL MEMORY 1. Write the names of family members, pets, friends and acquaintances on cards. 2. Place the cards in the box. 3. Have your child take out one card. 4. Look at the card with your child and sing to the motive of the song about the beetle from the film "Cinderella": This word has the first sound, The first sound, the first sound, First sound __________ . 5. Let the child try to guess what name is written on the card. 6. Instead of names, you can write simple words on the cards. A SONG ABOUT VOWERS DEVELOPS LISTENING SKILLS
It's not difficult for me to repeat: U, S, E. Vowels are easy to learn: (clap), I, O. It's not difficult for me to repeat: (clap), S, E. Continue replacing vowels with claps. WHAT SOUND DO WE HEAR? INTRODUCING RHYME Group game 1. Divide the children into two groups. 2. Groups take it in turns to say the words and determine which vowel occurs in each word. FIRST GROUP: "Poppy, cancer, varnish". SECOND GROUP: "Beam, stick, rolling pin". ADULT: "What sound do we hear?" ALL TOGETHER: "Sound "a", sound "a", sound "a". FIRST GROUP: "Feast, peace, shooting gallery". SECOND GROUP: "Fork, saw, Milka". ADULT: "What sound do we hear?" ALL TOGETHER: "Sound" and, sound "and", sound "and". FIRST GROUP: "Gender, stake, table". : "What sound do we hear?" ALL TOGETHER: "Sound "o", sound "o", sound "o". FIRST GROUP: "Bush, crunch, empty." SECOND GROUP: "Murka, Burka, Turk", ADULTS: "What sound do we hear?" ALL TOGETHER: "Sound" y", sound "y", sound "y". FIRST GROUP: "He lived, was, washed." : "What sound do we hear?" ALL TOGETHER: "Sound "s", sound "s", sound "s". COUNTING SOUNDS INTRODUCING CHILDREN'S ROEMS 1. Pick up poems for children in which there are often words starting with one or another letter. RAFT Raft, Raft, Raft Floats, On a raft - Shaggy cat. Catching fish Cat from a raft, Lots of fish Cat! 2. Read the poem aloud, highlighting the words beginning with the letter "P" with your voice. 3. Have the children listen carefully to the poem and count how many words begin with the letter P. 4. Read the poem again and count the words beginning with the letter "P" on your fingers. FIND THE WORDS FOR THE SAME SOUNDS TEACHING TO ANALYZE AND COMPARE 1. When teaching children to read and write, it is important to teach them to compare the initial sounds of different words. 2. Prepare picture magazines, scissors, cardboard cards, and glue. 3. Cut out pictures from magazines and stick them on cards. Choose images of objects that are familiar to children, the names of which begin with the same letter (for example, a boy, a ball, oil, a car, and so on). 4. Arrange the cards on the table in several rows face down. 5. Have the child turn over any two cards. If the names of the objects shown in the pictures begin with the same sound, the kid takes the cards for himself. If not, put the cards back face down and try again. SOUNDS AROUND US DEVELOPS LISTENING SKILLS 1. The ability to correctly pronounce sounds in a word is very important when learning to read. 2. Take a children's book with large bright pictures of animals. Show the child a dog and a cow, reproduce barking and mooing. Introduce your baby to the sounds that other animals make. 3. Write a letter on a piece of paper and say the sound it represents. For example, if you were talking about how a cow mooes, write a bright letter "M" on paper and play the sound "m". 4. Prepare these cards for all the animals depicted on the pages of the book. Bug ENHANCES CREATIVITY 1. You will need white round stickers (one large and many small ones), a sheet of black paper and a small white card with the child's name. 2.

Have your baby crawl or fly like a bug. FIND YOUR SOUND DEVELOPS THE MIND Group Play 1. Prepare pictures of people and animals. For example, a fireman, a policeman, a dog. Label each one accordingly. 2. Show the picture to the children and ask whose name starts with the same sound as the name of the picture. 3. Have the participant whose name matches the name of the picture come forward, say their name and match it with the name of the picture, for example: "My name is Sveta. There is a dog in the picture." 4. This game encourages the development of thinking and gives every child the opportunity to be the center of attention.
WHAT I LOVE ENHANCES VOCABULARY 1. Ask your child to name a favorite activity or treat. Explain that the word must begin with the same sound as its name. 2. Help your child find the right words, for example: "Katya loves sweets and swims." 3. Have your child write their name on a piece of paper with your help, and draw something they love next to it. FIRST SOUND DEVELOPS OBSERVATION 1. Give your child a piece of paper that says "My name is _______" at the top. 2. Ask your child to write their name on the pass. 3. Help your child find and cut out pictures of objects that start with the same sound as their name. 4. Repeat the task with the names of close relatives and the names of pets. FUNNY NAMES DEVELOPS A SENSE OF HUMOR 1. Have your child say their name. 2. Say that today you will call him in a new way. 3. Let the baby choose any letter. 4. Do the same for your name. Children love this game very much. SOUND SHOPPING DEVELOPS THINKING 1. You will need a magazine with pictures of familiar items. The ideal option is skating toys. 2. Let the child imagine that he is ordering goods from a catalog. Ask to point to the item that the baby would like to buy. 3. You need to name the object and pronounce the first sound in its name. For example, if the child chose the ball, you should play the sound "m". Help the baby if necessary. LETTER PACKAGES INTRODUCING CAPITAL AND SMALL LETTERS 1. You will need 5 bags and 5 cardboard cards. 2. Choose the 5 letters of the alphabet that your child likes the most. Usually these are the letters of his name. 3. Label each bag with the letter of your choice (uppercase and lowercase). 4. Help your child find and put into a bag the items whose names begin with the sound corresponding to the letter on the bag. REPEAT A SOUND TEACHING TO SELECT INDIVIDUAL SOUNDS 1. Games with words and speech sounds develop phonemic hearing in a child and help in language learning. 2. Explain to your child that words can start with different sounds. Show this at the reception of body parts (mouth, lips, elbow, ankle, and so on). 3. Point to your mouth and say, "Rrrrr mouth." Have the child repeat after you. 4. Ask your child to find objects in the room whose names begin with the sound "p" (this is a pen, a rose, a racket, and so on). 5. Repeat the task with the new sound.
FIND THE SAME SOUNDS TEACHES TO FIND THE SAME SOUNDS 1. The ability to match letters and the sounds they represent is fundamental in learning to read. 2. Write a capital letter on each of the 10 card stock. 3. 4. Shuffle the cards and place them face down on the table. 5. Have the child turn over one card and say the sound it makes for the letter written on it. 6. Have the child turn over the next card and make the sound corresponding to the letter. If the sounds are different, you need to put both cards on the table with the letters down. If the sounds are the same, the child takes the cards for himself. The game ends when your little student manages to correctly name all the letters and collect all the cards. TALES WITH STICKERS DEVELOP YOUR FANTASY 1. You will need stickers with pictures and two sheets of paper. 2. Keep one sheet of paper for yourself and give the other to your child. 3. Write a letter on a piece of paper and ask your child to say the sound it represents. 4. Have your child look for two words that begin with the same sound. 5. If the child completed the task successfully, give him two stickers. 6. When your child has a lot of stickers, come up with a fairy tale together. SAME OR DIFFERENT SOUNDS DEVELOPS LISTENING SKILLS ,"l"). 2. Explain to the child that you will now make two sounds. If the sounds are the same, he should raise his hands up, if they are different, put them on his knees. 3. Start with two identical sounds. Say "m" twice, "p" twice. Remind that if the sounds are the same, you need to raise your hands up. 4. Say 2 different sounds (for example, "m", "p"). 5. This game helps children match letters with the sounds they represent. 6. When the child learns to easily distinguish between different sounds, move on to sounds that sound very similar (for example, "b" and "e"). LISTEN CAREFULLY TEACHES ATTENTION Group game 1. This is a game of attentiveness. Let the children listen to the story, clapping each word that begins with an "s" sound. 2. 3. If the children make a mistake, read the word again, highlighting 1 sound with your voice. 4. After writing down 4-5 words, read them aloud. Get a funny offer. FUNNY SENTENCES DEVELOPS LISTENING SKILLS 1. In this exercise, you need to replace the initial sounds of all words with the same sound. 2. It is better to start with short and simple sentences. Say, "The dog barked loudly." Ask the children to replace the first sound of each word with a "t" sound. It will turn out "Tobacco tagged loudly." 3. The exercise is not at all as simple as it seems at first glance. It requires mental work from the child. 4. Children learn to match letters and the sounds they represent. 5. The kids will love the funny suggestions that come with changing the initial sound. For example, the sentence "Let's go for a walk" can turn into "Let's go for a walk. NAME THE SOUNDS IN ORDER INTRODUCES THE ORDER OF SOUNDS IN A WORD 1. Each sound is important in a word, so you should teach your child to correctly name not only the first, but also the sounds following it. 2. Cut out from magazines pictures of objects and animals familiar to the baby, the names of which consist of 3 letters (cat, ball, oak, chalk, soup, juice, etc.). 3. Ask the child to choose any picture. Explain that now he will need to name all the sounds in this word in order, and you will help him. 4. For example, the kid has chosen a picture of a cat. Show one finger and ask the child to name the first sound in the word "cat", i.e. "k" sound. Now show two fingers - the baby should say "o". Show 3 fingers and ask to pronounce the third sound in the word, i.e. "t". 5. Repeat the exercise several times and then ask the child to switch roles. Now let him show his fingers, and you name the sounds. 6. After successfully completing this task, move on to four-letter words. LISTEN TO SOUNDS DEVELOP THOUGHT middle of the word "cat"). 2. First, use the same sound that occurs at the beginning, middle and end of the word, and then, when this task becomes too easy for the baby, include several sounds at once in the song. 3. Sing a song to the motive "Far, far away in the meadow ko..." Here are the words "poppy", "ball", "moss", Name the first sound in them. (pause, child answers "m") That's right, "m"! Here are the words "oak", "onion", "soup", Name the middle sound in them. (pause, child says "y") That's right, "y"! Here are the words "juice", "poppy", "cancer", Name the last sound. (pause, the child answers "k") That's right, "k"! REMOVING THE FIRST SOUND DEVELOPING LISTENING SKILLS Group play 1. The purpose of this exercise is to help children understand that the meaning of a word changes when the first sound is removed or replaced in it. 2. Ask the children to sit in a circle. Explain that sometimes, if you remove the first sound in a word, you can get a new word. 3. Say, for example, the word "chalk", emphasizing the first consonant, and ask the kids to repeat after you again. Then say "ate" and ask the little ones to repeat after you again. 4. Ask which sound has disappeared and repeat both words again. 5. This is a rather difficult task. Perhaps the children will be able to repeat after you only the second word "ate" the first time. They need time to learn to identify the missing sound. 6. Children can name words in rhyme instead of the missing sound. In this case, it is important not to mix two different exercises and concentrate on the first sound. Knock knock knock. it's a sound DEVELOPS A SENSE OF RHYTHM 1. Sit your baby at the table. 2. Say a simple word (for example, "cat", "juice") and ask the child to hit the table as many times as there are sounds (phonemes) in this word. 3. Have the child count the sounds of the word out loud. 4. Say the word again, separating each phoneme (for example, "k" "o" "t"). 5. If the child is interested, continue the game. CLAP LIKE ME DEVELOPS LISTENING SKILLS 1. The ability to feel and repeat the rhythm is very important for the formation of phonemic hearing. 2. Explain to the child that he will first need to carefully listen to the rhythm that you set by clapping, and then repeat it at your signal. 3. Start with a simple rhythm (eg 2 claps, pause, 2 claps, pause, 2 claps). Choose a rhythm taking into account the age and preparedness of the baby. 4. You can also say the words rhythmically and change the tone of your voice. For example, say "cat, cat, cat", but say the last word louder. 5. Have your child repeat after you. SOUNDS AND JUMPING DEVELOPS AGGRESSION Group Play 1. Draw a few thin lines with chalk on the floor or asphalt (their number may vary). 2. Before the start of the game, the participants stand on the first line. Explain the rules: you pronounce the word, the children listen and count the sounds in it, and then stand on the line corresponding to the number of sounds in the word. 3. Begin, for example, with the word "cat". Say the word and command: "Begin!" 4. The guys have to jump forward as many lines as there are sounds in this word. The one who correctly completed the task (i.e. ended up on the third line) remains in place. The one who made a mistake returns to the first line. 5. The game ends when each child completes the task correctly. Children who have difficulty learning sounds need more time. Therefore, it is necessary to give each child a chance to complete the task correctly.

The ability to distinguish individual sounds in a stream of speech is called phonemic hearing. Games with words, when the child is asked to listen carefully and notice changes in words, as well as to pronounce words in syllables, are the key points in the formation of phonemic hearing. This will help in learning to read. 
By introducing the child to the sounds of the world around us, we help him learn to match letters and sounds. 
Substitute this letter at the beginning of his name. For example, if Anya chose the letter "P", then today her name will be Panya. 
Write the same letters on 10 more cards. 
Write on a piece of paper or on the board the words that the children have correctly marked with cotton.
