I wanted to create a phonics sorting activity that was paperless. So I created the mat backgrounds that don’t move and then found developmental sequence for speech sounds for early, mid and late emerging speech sounds. I created the blank slides first and then populated the slides with 4 -6 pictures of each comparing sound. Each slide compares 2 speech sounds. I have my students say the picture name out loud and try to hear that first sound and then move that picture under the correct letter. I created this activity to do with my bookbuddies but as I discovered my students wanted to do it outside of the bookbuddies so I would assign a few slides on my Google classroom each tech/center time. You can find this activity in my TPT store at the following link: It Begins with Phonic Mats Enjoy! Kemble :-)
