We can use these free printable Beginning Sound ABC Play Dough Mats to practice letter formation and letter sound correspondence in pre-k and kindergarten. Before children are able to read fluently they must first identify the letters of the alphabet and the sounds the letters represent. Once kids are able to recognize the alphabet and sounds, we can help them learn to start reading and writing. This set of free printable ABC Initial Sounds Mats will help children work on fine motor muscles and engage in sensory play while building literacy skills.

These no-prep ABC Initial Sound Mats are perfect for small group activities or in your classroom.

Laminate them or add them to dry-erase pockets so that you can use them over and over again.
