Fun early learning activity for letter-sound correspondence focusing on the letter A.

Let’s work through this step by step.

This is a “Sort It!” activity about letter-sound correspondence — specifically, sorting pictures based on whether their word starts with the letter A or not.

We are given six pictures at the bottom:
1. Acorn
2. Apple
3. Tooth
4. Ant
5. Turtle
6. Scissors

We need to sort them into two groups:
- Words that start with the sound /a/ (like “apple”)
- Words that do NOT start with /a/

Let’s go one by one:

1. Acorn → Starts with “A” → ✔ Group A
2. Apple → Starts with “A” → ✔ Group A
3. Tooth → Starts with “T” → ✘ Not Group A
4. Ant → Starts with “A” → ✔ Group A
5. Turtle → Starts with “T” → ✘ Not Group A
6. Scissors → Starts with “S” → ✘ Not Group A

So, the correct sorting is:

→ Group A (starts with A): Acorn, Apple, Ant
→ Not Group A: Tooth, Turtle, Scissors

Final Answer:
Acorn, Apple, and Ant go in the “starts with A” box. Tooth, Turtle, and Scissors go in the other box.
