Spot the Difference: Colouring Objects NOT Starting with a Given Letter for Grade KG 

This Kindergarten worksheet helps young learners sharpen their letter-sound awareness by identifying and colouring objects that do NOT begin with a given letter. Through picture-based discrimination, multiple-choice thinking, and guided sentence work, children learn to compare sounds, notice differences, and make correct choices—an essential early literacy skill. 

Why Learning “Not Starting With” Letters Matters in Early Literacy? 

1. It strengthens sound discrimination by comparing similar words. 
2. It helps children listen carefully to starting sounds. 
3. It builds logical thinking and decision-making skills. 
4. It prepares learners for accurate reading and spelling later on. 

What’s Inside This Worksheet? 

🧠 Exercise 1 – Circle the Object NOT Starting with the Given Letter 
Children observe sets of pictures and circle the object that does not begin with the given letter (e.g., letter **M**). This improves attention to detail and sound comparison. 

✏️ Exercise 2 – Multiple Choice: Identify the Odd One Out 
Learners choose the word that does NOT start with a specific letter (such as Y, S, A, E, K, H, R, G, L, Z). This reinforces letter–sound recognition through elimination. 

📋 Exercise 3 – Rewrite Sentences Using Picture Clues 
Children complete sentences by identifying the correct object shown in the picture (e.g., *ball, boy, girl, hat, car, bed, fan, jam, zip, egg*). This builds vocabulary and sentence understanding. 

📝 Exercise 4 – Thinking & Writing Task 
Students write one line using a word that does NOT start with the letters **V** and **U**, and explain why. This encourages reasoning and early expressive skills.
