Trick-or-Treat: Sound Search

There are no tricks here, just the treat of getting to practice beginning letter sounds! Learners will read the name of each picture aloud, then determine which of three letters matches the beginning sound. There are nine Halloween-themed words for students to read, such as candle, bat, and web.

Created for kindergarteners and first graders, this worksheet prompts students to focus on the beginning sound of each word. Recognizing the sound each letter makes is vital for early readers, as it lays the foundation for both encoding and decoding words.
