What's Inside

Hunting for beginning letters sounds is a lively game. Our aim is to have fun as we learn the beginning sounds.

Children practice hearing first sounds in words and matching them to letters. These early reading skills support strong word work and help children notice how words begin.

This book fits well with preschool, kindergarten, and early first grade readers who are learning letters and letter sounds.
