Sounds, Rhymes and Letter Awareness: Grade KG Phonics Worksheet

This Grade KG worksheet focuses on building early phonics and sound awareness through engaging rhyming words, animal sounds, and letter sound activities. By saying words aloud, listening carefully to beginning and ending sounds, and identifying rhyming patterns, children develop strong listening, speaking, and early reading skills. The worksheet uses simple words, clear choices, and familiar examples, making it ideal for kindergarten learners beginning their phonics and letter awareness journey.
