This Grade KG phonics worksheet on Beginning Sound Picture Sorting helps young learners identify the first sound in words using engaging picture-based activities. Recognising beginning sounds is a key early literacy skill that strengthens phonemic awareness and prepares children for reading and spelling.
Designed especially for Kindergarten learners, this worksheet uses matching, word sorting, fill-in-the-blanks, and multiple choice questions to help children connect sounds with letters. Through pictures such as dog, fan, moon, hat, ant, leaf, pin, gift, jar, and ring, students practise identifying and applying initial sounds confidently.
Understanding beginning sounds is essential for early reading development because:
1. It builds strong phonemic awareness.
2. It helps children connect letters to sounds.
3. It improves early spelling accuracy.
