Say & Write is an engaging, hands-on resource designed for K-1 learners to develop both phonological and phonemic awareness through segmenting picture names and writing down the sounds. This resource seamlessly connects speaking and writing by encouraging students to identify individual sounds (phonemes) in words, say them aloud, and then write them down, reinforcing their understanding of how sounds connect to letters.
 
By practicing segmentation with vibrant, picture-supported cues, young learners build essential skills in listening for sounds, recognizing patterns in words, and translating spoken language into written form. This explicit, structured approach helps solidify foundational literacy skills, bridging phonological awareness (the ability to identify and manipulate sounds) with early writing proficiency.
 
Ideal for classrooms or home learning, Say & Write Picture Workmats boosts confidence in young readers and writers, setting them up for reading success by building their understanding of the sound-symbol relationship that is key to literacy development.
