Letter Sound Inventory
Letter Sound Inventory
Name:______________________ Date:____________
Directions: Sit side by side with a student. You may use either flashcards or a list containing the alphabet (one
letter per row and a separate row for uppercase and lowercase letters).
Place list in front of student, revealing one row at a time or show a letter flashcard asking the student, “What letter is
this?” If the child responds A, without saying capital or lowercase, ask, “Is it capital A or lowercase A?” Ask, “What
sound does it make?”
Using a form like the one below, place a check mark if the child identifies letter or sound correctly, a dash if there is
no answer, and if the child identifies an incorrect letter or sound, record what they actually say. This can provide
useful information to guide instruction.
