Made some progress with letter sounds, what next?

[FreudianSlippery]

My 3.8yo (about whom I posted a few weeks ago as she wanted to learn to read) has suddenly got the knack of working out the beginning sounds of words, and pointing them out (the other day she spontaneously said "pizza and pasta both start with /p/". Really chuffed with this particularly as she was a bit delayed with speech (couldn't say many sounds until recently).

We haven't done all the letters but she knows a b d e f h j m o p r s (I did try sticking to the JP order but got blank looks)

So now what? any ideas for games etc?

Still very young would she understand if you said "can you h-o-p?" or " pass me the c-u-p please" type activity

Have a look at Debbie Hepplewhite's Teeny Reading Seeds:
