ABOUT THIS WORKSHEET

What your child practices.

Phoneme manipulation is the advanced class of phonemic awareness — and this sheet makes it a magic trick. Swapping the first sound (cat→hat) shows your child that words are built from replaceable parts.

  • Changing the first sound of a word
  • Writing the new word
  • Understanding words as sound chains
  • Reading both words aloud

On the sheet: Swap the first sound and write the new word.
