Children will look at the picture on the card and determine which letter that word begins with. This requires them identify which sound it begins with and which letter makes that sound.

For example, the child will look at a card and see a monkey on it. They will say they word out loud and pay careful attention to the sound that is a the beginning of the word. They will notice that the first sound in the word monkey is “mmmm.” Then they will decide that the letter m makes that sound.

They will then clip the clothespin on the letter m that is printed on the right side of the card.

Placing the clothespin on the card is also a good way for children to get some extra fine motor practice as well.
