Sorting objects by initial sounds

In our classroom I have this handy little organizer for our sound objects.  As soon as we decided to homeschool this year I started scouring our house and stores for small objects to use for learning phonics.  We use these when we review a letter sound but also use these when practicing listening for the initial sound in a word. 

 

Here Bean uses his sandpaper letters and sound objects to sort out by listening for the initial sound in each word.
