Writing, hearing and finding the letter b
On one page, children write the letter b, hear it at the start of words and pick it out from letters that look like it. They trace a model B and b, with a start dot and an arrow for the first stroke, then write their own. Next they say six picture names and mark the four that start with the b sound. The pictures have no word labels, so you name each one first. The last task is a 12-letter strip where students mark and count every b.

Teaching tips
1
Say each picture's name aloud before students start the picture section. The pictures have no word labels, so a child who thinks the bus is a "van" won't hear a b sound and will skip a right answer.
2
For b/d mix-ups, use the line from the answer key: little b starts with a tall line down, then a ball on the right. Have students say "bat, then ball" as they trace.

Support
More guided practice
- Trace each letter in the air, then with a finger on the page, before using a pencil.
- Do the picture sort as a group, saying each name together.
- Cover half the letter strip and hunt in six tiles at a time.
On level
Teach as written
- All three sections, with you naming the pictures.
- Students count the b's in the strip and check their total with a partner.
Extension
More b words
- Draw two more things that start with b on the back.
- Explain how they know a letter in the strip is b and not d.

A2.2Letter formation
Students trace and write B and b using the start dots and stroke arrows.
A2.1Naming letters
The letter hunt practises recognizing lowercase b among look-alike letters. Students find the letter but aren't asked to name it.
A2.3Isolating sounds
Marking the pictures that start with the b sound practises hearing the first sound in a word. Blending and segmenting aren't covered.
