Hear & Identify Beginning Sounds

Once your child knows a few letter sounds, the next step is hearing that sound in words.

This week: make the puppet → do that letter’s sound page.

How a page works

  1. Look at the picture.

  2. Say this- “Does this start like Alligator Ann?”

  3. If yes, color it. If no, cross it out.

Example: a picture of a hat
“h-h-h. Does that begin like aaa Alligator Ann?”

No? cross it out

Educational worksheet with pictures and words, including a crocodile with a green check mark, a hat with a green cross, mittens with a green check, an apple with a red check, a car with a green cross, and an ambulance with a blue letter 'a' and a green check.

This is what it looks like when you are done.
