Six friendly animal faces line the page, each next to the end of its word: a fox beside “ox,” a hen beside “en,” a bee beside “ee,” and so on for cow, goat, and pig. Kids name the animal, listen for the sound it starts with, and write the missing first letter to complete the word.
It’s a natural next step after letter tracing: instead of forming a letter in isolation, kids hear a beginning sound and choose the letter that makes it. A quick, low-pressure page for phonics centers, morning work, or a take-home review.
