Beginning Sounds Adapted Book | Letter F Sound Fox | SLP SPED Autism Phonics

This Beginning Sounds Adapted Book, "A Fickle Fox," focuses on the beginning / initial F sound — perfect for introducing or reviewing the letter F. Students feed a "fickle fox" who ONLY eats foods that start with F (don't dare feed him anything else — he's very fickle!). The playful rhyming story plus 8 included activities make this a complete letter-F phonics mini-lesson.

🦊 Perfect for:

• Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) targeting initial sounds, articulation (/f/), and phonological awareness goals
• Special Education teachers building letter-sound and phonics foundations
• Autism classrooms needing structured, repeatable phonics tasks
• Occupational Therapists working on fine motor skills (Velcro and tracing/writing)
• ABA therapists running discrete trial letter-sound programs
• Early Childhood, Pre-K, and Kindergarten teachers
• Reading Intervention and RTI / MTSS teachers

• Homeschool families with emergent readers

🍤 What's Included:

• 1 Adapted Interactive Book — A Fickle Fox
• 1 Set of Trace and Write activities (letter F formation)
• 1 Set of Word Cards
• 1 Feed Fox activity (confirm — your draft said "Feed Kitty")
• 5 Worksheets for extra practice

🎯 Skills Targeted:

Beginning / initial F sound, letter F recognition, letter-sound correspondence, /f/ articulation, phonemic awareness, phonological awareness, letter formation (trace and write), vocabulary (F words), sound sorting, fine motor skills (Velcro, tracing, writing), following directions, and independent work skills.

How to Use:

The teacher or therapist reads the rhyming story aloud while students feed the fox a new "F" food on each page. At the end of the book, students identify many things that start with F. Extend the lesson with the trace-and-write activities (letter F formation), word cards, Feed Fox activity, and 5 practice worksheets. Use as a small group lesson, independent center, or workstation.
