Letter S Book List
Letter S is another very rich letter with numerous sounds it can build up. Let’s look up some blends made with this letter: st like in still, most, and story; str like in strike; sp like in special and spell; sn like in snake and snore; sl like in slice and slow; sm like in smoke and smell; and sw like in swing and swim. The preschool and kindergarten levels might not be worried about those blends, but they will just enjoy the letter S sound as the beginning sound. Here are some popular books in a Letter S book list I would like to share for children to learn the letter S sound.
