Beginning Sounds and Picture Coloring Activity

Age/Grade Level: Kindergarten to 1st Grade

Learning Objectives:

• Identify beginning sounds of words and match them with corresponding letters.
• Enhance phonemic awareness by coloring pictures based on their initial sounds.
• Practice early reading and decoding skills in a fun, interactive format.

Description:

This worksheet focuses on identifying beginning sounds by prompting children to color pictures that start with specific letters. Each letter of the alphabet is paired with images, and students are encouraged to color only those that match the beginning sound. This hands-on activity builds foundational phonics skills while keeping young learners engaged.

Instructions for Parents/Teachers:

1. Review each letter sound with the child, helping them identify the beginning sounds in the pictures.
2. Encourage the child to carefully select and color only the pictures that match the beginning sound for each letter.
3. Discuss with the child why certain pictures correspond to each sound, reinforcing phonics concepts.
