Beginning Sound Match #1

See the picture, hear the sound, the beginning letter must be found! This engaging worksheet helps kindergarten and first-grade students practice identifying the first letter sounds in simple CVC words.

Students will look at each picture, say the word aloud, and color the letter that matches its beginning sound. With clear visuals and easy-to-follow directions, this activity gives emerging readers repeated practice connecting sounds to the letters that represent them.

Mastering beginning sounds is a foundational phonics skill that supports early reading, spelling, and confidence with new words. This worksheet offers a fun, hands-on way for children to strengthen sound-letter-recognition, which is an essential step on the path to fluent reading.
