Beginning Sounds Worksheets for First Phonics Steps

Beginning Sounds Worksheets teach children to listen for the very first sound in a word, one of the earliest phonics skills. Kids look at a picture, say the word out loud and decide which letter it begins with, from A to Z. They are made for preschool learners who are starting to connect letters with sounds.

Keep practice playful: name objects around the room and ask your child for the beginning sound before opening the worksheets. A few minutes a day with the Beginning Sounds Worksheets is enough at this stage, and the free PDF can be reprinted whenever a page wears out.
