Make phonics instruction colorful, engaging, and effective with Critter Corner's Meet the Letter – Phonics Posters & Flashcards!

? A Purposeful Phonics Teaching Sequence

Rather than introducing letters in alphabetical order, this resource follows a structured phonics sequence beginning with:

S – A – T – P – I – N

These early sounds allow children to begin blending and reading simple words such as:

sat, sit, pin, pan, tap, nap, tip, tin

As children learn more letters, they can build increasingly complex words and develop confidence in early reading.

The complete teaching sequence is:

S – A – T – P – I – N – C – K – E – H – R – M – D – G – O – U – L – F – B – J – V – W – X – Y – Z – Qu

?️ Learn How to Make Each Sound!

Children can see how their mouth, lips, teeth, and tongue move when producing letter sounds.

For example:

P – Close your lips, then release a small puff of air.
M – Close your lips and allow the sound to resonate through your nose.
F – Gently place your upper teeth against your lower lip and release air.
T – Place your tongue behind your upper teeth and release the sound.
W – Round your lips before producing the sound.

The realistic mouth photographs provide visual guidance, making the resource especially useful for children who benefit from seeing how sounds are formed.

? Letters Can Have More Than One Sound!

The pack also introduces letters with multiple pronunciations, including:

S – /s/ and /z/
C – Hard /k/ and soft /s/
G – Hard /g/ and soft /j/
X – /ks/ and /z/
Y – Four different sounds
U – Three different sounds

Children are introduced to these variations through familiar words and engaging illustrations.
