Try this activity to help your child identify the beginning, middle, and ending sound in a particular word.

These beginning, middle, and ending sounds clip cards are great for kids in preschool and kindergarten.

In January, when I celebrated my blog’s 3-year anniversary, I asked my readers what materials they’d like to see next.  One repeated request was activities that focus on beginning, middle, and ending sounds within words.

We already have quite a few beginning sound activities.  We even have some middle vowel clip cards. But I hadn’t created any ending sounds activities yet, nor did I have anything that combined all three.

Until now!

Introducing…

These beginning, middle, and ending sounds clip cards are great for kids in preschool and kindergarten.

“Where’s that sound?” clip cards

To play:

  • Have your child identify the sound of the featured letter in the gold circle.
  • Tell your child to say the name of the picture slowly, listening for the featured sound.
  • Your child can point to or clip the word “beginning,” “middle,” or end” to show where the sound occurs within the word.

I began this game with my Four, who knows his letter sounds well (except for those pesky short vowels) and was ready for the next step.

These beginning, middle, and ending sounds clip cards are great for kids in preschool and kindergarten.

First, I showed my preschooler that he needed to listen for whether the sound was in the beginning, middle, or end of a word. Even though he can’t read those three words, he had no trouble remembering which was which as he did the activity.

He identified the main sound and said the name of each picture.  “Hippo. Hhhhippo.  Beginning.”

Some of the cards made him think a little… like this one.  He’s still shaky with his vowel sounds, so I reminded him that short i says /i/.

I was pleased when he could hear the middle consonant sounds, such as /m/ in hammer.

These beginning, middle, and ending sounds clip cards are great for kids in preschool and kindergarten.

I’ll be honest and tell you that after a few cards he became frustrated and wanted to quit.  (He got stuck on the word “olive.”) I’m used to this sort of thing from him, so when I feel like we should keep going, I insist on it.

I know it looks like I do learning activities like this with my kids all the time, but it’s truly only a handful of times a week.  And since he’d clearly demonstrated he could do this activity, I pushed him to do a few more cards.  “Just five more.”

Well, after he cheered up he chose to keep going for quite a few more than five.

These beginning, middle, and ending sounds clip cards are great for kids in preschool and kindergarten.

After my kindergartner came home, I pulled out the activity for him, too.  He had to think a minute for cards like this one.  He knew that knife ends with an e, but he also knew that since the e is silent, the /f/ sound is what comes at the end of the word.

He did about half of the set, but I don’t have more pictures to share because most of them were blurry.  I was holding our 2-month-old at the time, and my multitasking only goes so far!

We hope you enjoy this freebie!

Phonemic Awareness Games & Activities

The research is in! Children with a strong foundation of phonemic awareness become better readers. Our bundle is your one-stop shop for teaching all levels of this important skill.

Beginning and Ending Sounds Listening Activity {with free printable pack} | This Reading MamaLately, I’ve noted that NJoy {5 years old} is really beginning to blossom as he listens for sounds in words, especially when spelling words. So I created a beginning and ending sounds listening activity pack I call, “Where’s That Sound?” for him just to see exactly what he could do. I used pictures and sounds only, not the visual letters because I just wanted to see what he could do by listening only {also known as phonological awareness}.

Beginning and Ending Sounds Listening Sort

The first thing I did was print off a couple of beginning and ending letter sorts from the free download. {Click to download at the end of the post.} We used our pocket chart this activity, but you could totally use a table top or floor space if you don’t have a pocket chart. At the top, I placed the words beginning and end so he had a place to sort the pictures.

sorting picture cards by beginning and ending soundsUsing only one letter sound at a time, I would say something like, “We’re going to listen for where we hear the /b/ sound in this word. If we hear it at the beginning, we’re going to sort the picture under beginning. If we hear it at the end, we’re going to sort it under end.” I modeled how to do it with one card, then I named each picture one at at time while he sorted the rest. {There is a picture key for each set of picture cards to ensure the vocabulary is consistent.} He did very well with the beginning sounds and did fairly well with the ending sounds, too. On day 2, we did the exact same thing with the letter n sound and picture cards. He was a bit more confident with the ending sounds on day 2.

Beginning and Ending Sounds Listening Game

On day 3, I placed the beginning and end cards on the floor. I printed off and laminated several different letter sounds from the free packet {see below}. This time, I asked him to point to either beginning or ending, depending on where he heard the sound in the word.

For example, I said, “Where do you hear the /g/ sound in goat?” To see this activity in action, please click on the youtube video you see below. {I really don’t know what he’s giggling about in the video. He’s just a happy child and loves life!} He did very well with this. I was pleased to see his understanding of the concept.

 

Enjoy Teaching!
~Becky

When one word ends with a vowel sound and the next word begins with a vowel sound, we link the words with a sort of Y or W sound. It depends on the shape of our mouth at the end of the first word.

Lips wide

When the first word ends in an a, e, i vowel sound [ eɪ / i: / aɪ ], our lips are wide. Then we insert a Y sound at the beginning of the next word:

we write first
word
ends
with
we say
pay all /eɪ/ payyall
the end /i:/ theyend
lie on /aɪ/ lieyon
write They all buy at the arcade.
say theyyall buyyat theyarcade

Here are some more examples of word pairs that are linked with Y.

  • lay out, may I, say it
  • he ate, she is, we are
  • high up, my arm, why ever

Lips round

When the first word ends in an o, u vowel sound [ əʊ / u: ], our lips are round. Then we insert a W sound at the beginning of the next word:

we write first
word
ends
with
we say
go out /əʊ/ gowout
too often /u:/ toowoften
write You all go out too often.
say youwall gowout toowoften

Here are some more examples of word pairs that are linked with W.

  • no other, show off, grow up
  • you are, too often, throw it

The ability to discriminate between the beginning, middle, and ending sounds helps students progress faster in phonics skills.

beginning, middle, and ending sounds support later reading skills.

     The fact is, being able to identify the beginning, middle, and ending sound in words is super important when building phonemic awareness and eventually phonics skills….even if we sometimes don’t want to admit it.

   I’m going to be honest, this post has made me nervous. I feel very confident in my abilities to teach blending and segmenting sounds.  Yeah, the concept just makes me a little uncomfortable.

I think my struggles teaching beginning, middle, and ending sounds has something to do with my dyslexic brain.

     I, as an adult, have a hard time discriminating between the sounds in words and picking one that is the same. Teaching beginning sounds, for phonemic awareness is something I’ve done for years. I still don’t feel completely confident though. 

     I’m getting ahead of myself, I should explain what this skill is. Bear with me, like I said, I’m not as comfortable with this skill so I’m probably going to stumble through this more than usual.

What do you mean beginning, middle, and ending sounds?

  • This is the next step up from segmenting phonemes. 
  • Students should be able to hear 2 words and know if they share the same beginning, middle, or end sound.

  • For example, cat and map have the same middle sound. Another example of this skill would be if you gave a student the word hat, could they give you a word with the same beginning sound.

  • This skill set has more facets than blending or segmenting. 

  • It also requires the student to understand the concepts of first, middle, and end. This can be confusing without a visual.

Beginning Sounds Activities

     Students missing this skill may have several different skill deficits. 

     Some students may have a hard time rhyming, or with alliteration for example. Other students may struggle with spelling. They may not differentiate between words in the same word family or with different medial vowel sounds. 

How do I work on beginning, middle, and ending sounds?

beginning phonemes requires short term memory skills

     Because this is a more complicated skill, using visuals is really helpful. Have students start with segmenting a word, then identifying what the beginning, middle, or ending sound is in the word (just picking out one). 

     When students are comfortable, move on to giving students 2 words and telling you which one has the beginning, middle, or ending sound you call out.

     Eventually, you’ll be able to build up to giving students 3 or 4 words and asking them to tell you which word doesn’t have the same beginning, middle, or ending sound. Another option is giving them a word and asking the student to give you a word with the same beginning, middle, or ending sound. 

Suggestions on how to progress monitor this?

     You know I have suggestions for progress monitoring!

     Just as you would with any other skill, make sure you have charts and have made a goal to track. Choose either the beginning, middle, or ending sound to track. Doing all three is just too much!

     There are a lot of ways to track, but some easy ways are to say a sound and then 3 or 4 words. As the student to tell you which word has the same sound in the position you are tracking. If you can use pictures to help the students remember the words, that will help you to get a better grasp of their skill ability instead of their ability to hold things in short term memory.

     I’ve been working really hard to compile the different assessments that I’ve made over the years into one item to share. Progress monitoring beginning, middle, and ending sounds could take so many different forms, so this has been a real labor of love. You can check out my Beginning, Middle, and Ending Sound Progress Monitoring product on TPT. 

     Another option, if you want all the progress monitoring is my Phonemic Awareness Progress Monitoring Bundle. This is where I am compiling all of my phonemic awareness progress monitoring probes, so if you don’t want to make your own, check it out!

    beginning and ending sounds clip cards

    I think clip cards are a great activity for kindergarten kids. There are so many variations and most young learners seem to really enjoy the game. This set practices phonemic awareness AND develops fine motor skills. Two skills in one activity. How’s that for a teacher win?

    A Fun Way To Practice Isolating Beginning and Ending Sounds

    We all want to see our students succeed in reading. So it is worth making sure that each child has mastered those pre-reading skills so that they have a strong foundation to build on.

    Kinders that can isolate the sounds in a word and connect the sounds to letters are well on their way to becoming a reader. As with any skill, the children will benefit from plenty of practice.

    Our beginning and ending sounds clip cards provides a hands-on practice that is fun and engaging. They are designed to help children practice phenome isolation. In a nutshell, this involves isolating and identifying sounds in the words. We have used CVC (consonant- vowel-consonant) words as they can be broken into three distinct sounds.

    Phenome isolation is an important skill to develop as children begin to develop phonemic awareness. Once Kinders can isolate and identify sounds in words, they can begin to blend the sounds together and sound out words.

    To learn more about phonemic awareness and why it is so important click here.

    Our beginning/ ending clip cards are fast and easy to make. Once you have them made, just add some clothespins, and voila you have a literacy center! You can also use these clip cards as a quiet game for early finishers or provide the link for parents to make a set at home.

    As the name suggests, these clip cards can be used to practice either beginning or ending sounds. You choose! They feature generic pictures, so they are ready to go at any time of year.

    Color or Black and White clipcard sheets

    How To Use Beginning and Ending Sounds Clip cards

    Each card has a picture depicting a CVC word. You know how it works. Children pick up a clip card and look at the picture. Encourage them to say the word aloud and pay attention to the sound that is at the beginning/ end of the word. Then they clip a clothespin over the correct letter sound.  Repeat until all the cards have clothespins on them. You can specify beginning or ending sounds.

    As you are probably aware, beginning sounds are the easiest for young learners to isolate and identify. Start with beginning sounds and as students progress switch to ending sounds.

    Teacher’s Tip: Try indicating the right answer on the back of the card with a dot. Encourage students to turn the card over and check their answer once they have placed the clothespin!

    We’ve provided two sets, one in color and one in black and white for those of you without color printers.

    Making the Clip Cards

    SUPPLIES

    • Free printable clip card file (download below)
    • Cardstock
    • Laminator
    • Paper cutter or scissors
    • Wooden clothes pins

    PREPARATION

    1. Print the beginning and ending sounds clip cards onto your cardstock.
    2. Laminate the sheets and cut out the cards *

    *Note: You don’t need to laminate these sets, but they will last much longer if you do.

    You can store the cards in a bag or container with the clothespins, so the game is always ready to go.

    The Color Version

    Introducing the beginning and ending sounds center

    My preference is to introduce a new learning center activity to the whole class. This allows you to quickly see who understands the activity and who may need some extra help. It is also helpful to model how to use the clip cards.

    Pick out a card, point to the picture and say the word. Repeat the word, but this time exaggerate the beginning or ending sounds. Then invite the children to help you match the sound to the correct letter.

    A fun way of doing this is to try all the other letter choices. For example, you could pick out the top card and say, “Is it the P? Yes, it is the P. P-A-P Pap right?!” For some reason, Kinders think it is really funny when you make this kind of mistake.

    Today is Tuesday of our 30 Days of Reading Fun for Beginning Readers series and on Tuesdays we explore phonemic awareness concepts. Identifying and isolating individual sounds in words can sometimes be difficult for beginning readers. This activity aims to make what would normally be an auditory process into something more concrete and tangible without using letters (in keeping with true phonemic awareness).

    I created this school bus printable for this activity. I asked my daughter to put the unifix cube at the front of the bus for the beginning sound, in the middle of the bus for the middle sound, and at the back of the bus for the ending sound.

    I introduced each word and then said, “Where is the sound /__/ in the word _______?”

    For example, I gave my daughter the cube and put the school bus in front of her. I said, “Where is the sound /d/ in the word ‘dog’?”  She then would move the cube to the front of the bus because the /d/ sound is at the beginning of the word. We continued this with several of the simple CVC words I included in the printable.

    (And please excuse my yucky looking copy of the printable…my printer is acting up!)

    Download our “Where is the Sound?” Bus Printable here.
