Sound Clouds Digital Download

One hands-on resource, so many ways to explore sounds and words.

Choose any lowercase letter for the cloud, then use the included word and picture raindrops to explore where that sound can be heard. Children can listen for beginning, middle and ending sounds, build word families, match pictures with CVC words and notice patterns between words.

Use Sound Clouds to explore:

• Beginning, middle and ending sounds
• CVC word recognition
• Word families and rhyming patterns
• Letter–sound correspondence
• Phonemic awareness
• Picture and word matching

The open-ended design allows educators to adjust the activity to suit each child’s learning focus—making it a beautiful, practical addition to literacy rotations, small-group learning, intervention and play-based learning.

Your digital download includes:

• Sound Cloud STL file
• 26 lowercase letter STL files
