Show one familiar picture at a time and stretch the first sound aloud: /m/ in moon or /s/ in sun. Then connect that sound to its printed letter. Hearing and producing the phoneme first keeps the activity focused on sound-symbol correspondence rather than guessing from the picture alone.
Use objects children are likely to name consistently and avoid images with several common labels. For example, a child might call a sofa a couch, changing the expected first sound. Review every picture label and make sure answer choices are visually distinct, culturally familiar, and easy to recognize in black-and-white print.
Provide large letters, generous spacing, and only a few choices per row. Model the letter stroke separately, then ask children to circle or match a picture beginning with the target sound. Treat pronunciation differences thoughtfully and use the teacher key as guidance alongside the child’s spoken response.

FAQ
No. Children trace, say, match, or circle, making the page suitable for early phonics practice.
Say and isolate the sound, then connect it with the printed letter and its name.
A picture with several possible names can produce a different beginning sound and make the item unfair.
Yes. An adult can listen for the initial phoneme while the child points or circles.
