Sound Spotters: Beginning Sound Picture Practice for Grade KG 

This Kindergarten worksheet helps young learners strengthen phonics awareness by identifying pictures that begin with specific letter sounds. Through colourful visuals, word choices, and guided sentence activities, children learn to connect sounds with letters and words in a fun, meaningful, and age-appropriate way. 

Why Learning Beginning Sounds Matters in Early Literacy? 

1. It builds strong phonemic awareness by helping children hear and recognize starting sounds. 
2. It supports early reading and spelling readiness. 
3. It improves listening skills and sound–letter connections. 
4. It boosts confidence in identifying words through sounds rather than memorization. 

What’s Inside This Worksheet? 

🧠 Exercise 1 – Circle the Picture with the Given Sound 
Children look at a set of pictures and circle the one that begins with the given sound such as /F/, /G/, /C/, /P/, /S/, /M/, /N/, /U/, /J/, and /D/. This reinforces sound recognition using visuals. 

✏️ Exercise 2 – Multiple Choice: Identify the Sound 
Learners choose the correct word that contains a specific beginning sound (e.g., L, N, P, D, G, F, M, Y, B, K), strengthening phonics through comparison. 

📋 Exercise 3 – Rewrite Sentences Using Pictures 
Children complete simple sentences by naming the picture shown (e.g., teddy, tub, tin, lamp, book, car, ball, bus, cat, kite). This builds vocabulary and sentence comprehension. 

📝 Exercise 4 – Short Writing Task 
Students write a short line using the letters “X” and “U,” encouraging sound awareness and early writing practice.
