About beginning sounds worksheets
Hearing the first sound in a word is a key early reading skill. On these sheets, kids see a letter, say its sound, and circle the picture that starts with that sound. Saying each picture's name out loud is part of the practice, so these sheets work best with a grown-up nearby for the youngest kids.
Preschool and kindergarten pages use single letters with simple pictures. First and second graders move on to blends and digraphs like sh, ch, tr and fr. Each page opens with a worked example, so kids know what to do. Every print brings new letters and pictures.
