Beginning Sounds - h, b, f, l - PowerPoint

The 'Beginning Sounds' PowerPoint is an interactive English teaching resource designed to help primary school students learn and recognise the initial sounds of words. It focuses on four particular consonants: 'h', 'b', 'f', and 'l'. Students are encouraged to say the name of each picture displayed on the slides and then identify the beginning sound of that word. The PowerPoint presents a variety of images, each corresponding to one of the target sounds, to reinforce students' phonemic awareness and assist them in making the connection between sounds and letters.

The educational resource includes slides with images of everyday objects and animals such as a hammer, banana, lemon, and frog. Each image is accompanied by a choice of three letters, and the task is to circle the letter that represents the initial sound of the pictured item. For example, the image of a hammer is followed by the options 'h', 'b', and 'f', with 'h' being the correct beginning sound to circle. This activity is designed to be both fun and educational, allowing students to practice their understanding of phonics in an engaging way. By interacting with this resource, children enhance their ability to recognise and differentiate the sounds at the beginning of words, which is a fundamental skill in early reading development.
