How To Use The Rocket Beginning Sounds Activity:
For this phonics activity, your beginning readers will pick a rocket and identify the capital and lowercase letters on it.
They will then say the sound or sounds that the letters make.
Next, your preschoolers and kindergarteners will sort through the stars to find one that has a picture that begins with that sound.
Your kids will then look through the stars until they find two more that have pictures with the same initial sound. (The vowels have pictures with both the long and short sounds.)

To get your kids up and moving, you can hang the stars around your classroom or home and attach large craft sticks to the rockets.
