A sunlit garden phonics adventure

Join Sunny for a 2-minute, 7-second Letter S lesson. Meet uppercase S and lowercase s, then listen for /s/ with sunshine, strawberry, and a realistic squirrel.

Seven activities, two printing options

Trace S and s, fill dot markers, find and circle letters, match big and little S, listen for beginning sounds, sort picture cards, and help Sunny follow the S path. Both workbooks contain the same seven pages.
