This workbook facilitates foundational phonics skills by enabling students to practice changing the beginning sounds of words (onsets) to create new words. It introduces the concept of a word ladder, where students change one sound at a time to form a sequence of new words. For example, starting with 'cat', students can change the initial sound to create 'hat', 'mat', and 'sat'. The resource includes demonstrations for teachers, an interactive tracing exercise, opportunities for students to create their own word ladders, and games to reinforce the skill. Additionally, it provides home connection activities for parents to continue the learning process.
