Letter S
Sssuper students love the Letter S — a slithery sound that's easy to hear and great to teach!
This Letter S display card celebrates the /s/ sound as in "sun" — one of the most frequent sounds in the English language and a real favourite in early phonics programmes. Students quickly learn to hear the /s/ sound at the beginning of words, and this beautiful display card makes that connection crystal clear with a bright key word visual and clear upper and lower case letterforms.
Letter S has a satisfying, swooping formation that students enjoy practising, making it a highlight of early handwriting instruction too. Pair this with your full alphabet display for a cohesive and stunning literacy wall.
Why teachers love it:
- High-frequency sound — /s/ as in "sun" appears constantly in early reading texts, making this card instantly useful
- Formation cue support — the swooping shape of S is easier to learn with a clear visual model on display
- Bright key word — "sun" is universally recognised by young learners and a perfect anchor for the sound
- Part of a complete set — works beautifully alongside the full alphabet display series
Perfect for:
- Alphabet display walls and phonics corners
- Phonics lessons focusing on the /s/ sound
- Letter of the week — Letter S activities
- Prep, Kindy, and Year 1 classrooms
- Completing a full classroom alphabet display
What's included:
A printable Letter S display card featuring upper and lower case S, the /s/ sound, and a "sun" key word illustration.
