W words for toddlers


Letter W Activities

Grade Level:  Kindergarten

The Letter W is an unreliable letter.  It makes the "wuh" (voiced w sound) as in walk, when found at the end of a word or combined with the letter, it often makes the voiceless w sound as in whisper or cow.  At times, the wh combination makes the /h/ sound as in who.

W is sometimes silent as in two or wrench.

The activities are organized from easiest to most difficult.  Feel free to go only part way through the activities depending on the comfort level of the child!
