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.

Shine a light on the /s/ sound with this gorgeous Letter S classroom display card!
