5-day set · Letters and first sounds
Match capitals to lowercase, hear first sounds and put letters in order. Each day has one worksheet, a little harder than the day before, and one short activity with no printing.
- 7 pages — the week plan, 5 sheets, answer keys
- Color PDF

The first page is the plan for the week, with a box to tick each day. Every sheet also has its own page on the site, in color or black & white.

How to use the set
