Start-With Sounds: First Letter Identification for KG Learners 

This KG worksheet helps children recognise and fill in the correct beginning letter for simple words. With picture cues and a clear letter bank on page 3 of the worksheet, learners choose the right starting sound for words like “cat,” “mall,” “mop,” “pan,” “dog,” and more. 

The worksheet also strengthens phonics awareness by asking children to judge True/False statements about beginning sounds and choose correct initial letters from multiple-choice options. Finally, learners write their own words beginning with letters c, t, m, b, p, s, r, l, d, and a. 

Why First Letter Identification Matters in Grammar? 

Beginning-sound recognition builds phonics foundations by helping children: 

1. Connect sounds to letters quickly 
2. Decode words more easily while reading 
3. Build early spelling and vocabulary skills 
4. Strengthen visual–phonetic association for everyday words 

What’s Inside This Worksheet? 

Exercise 1 – Fill in the First Letter 
Children use the letter bank to fill in missing starting letters for words such as _at, _all, _op, _an, _og, _en, _it, _ug, _ed, _ar . 

Exercise 2 – True or False 
Kids check whether words start with the correct letter—for example, “Cat starts with a,” “Log starts with j,” “Pen starts with p” . 

Exercise 3 – Multiple Choice 
Children pick the correct starting letter for images and word endings like _at, _og, _an, _op, _ar, _ug, _en, _it, _ed, _all . 

Exercise 4 – Write a Word Beginning With Each Letter 
Using a word bank (add, lab, dam, rat, saw, pot, man, tap, bat, cow), learners write a word that starts with each given letter c, t, m, b, p, s, r, l, d, a . 
This worksheet strengthens phonics, boosts vocabulary development, and helps children listen for initial sounds—an essential skill for early reading.
