Sun Flashcard — Letter S for Preschoolers
Ss beside a smiling yellow sun — /s/ is the long hiss children can hold for a whole breath, and sun is the s-word that starts every good morning.
How this card helps
Ss beside the sun attaches the letter to the hiss — the one sound a child can already hold for five seconds, which makes it the set’s easiest win.
How to use this card
Sunshine circle: arms up like rays, spin slowly while hissing s, then land on an s-word — sun, sock, six, star. Dizzy giggles guaranteed.
What kids learn from it
That Ss is the hissing sound of sun and snake — a sound that can stretch, shrink and land on a whole family of s-words.
