Why Beginning Sounds Come Early

Hearing the first sound in a word is one of the first phonics skills children develop. When a child knows that ball starts with the b sound, they are linking sounds to letters, which is the foundation of reading. This worksheet gives gentle, picture-based practice that suits the youngest learners.

Strong beginning-sound skills lead naturally into blending and reading whole words.

How to Practise Beginning Sounds

Print on A4 and name each picture aloud, stretching the first sound: sss-un, sun. Ask the child which letter makes that sound. Make it a game by finding objects at home that start with a chosen sound.

Keep sessions short and playful, focusing on a few sounds at a time.
