Summer Beginning Sounds Cut and Paste pages for letter recognition and discrimination practice. These feature cute pages and a yummy ice cream theme. Letter recognition activity to practice in a fun and engaging way with this cut and paste task. This resource includes: •13 pages with ice cream with letters (2 per page) and 2 scoops for each of the ice creams with pictures with beginning letters matching the one on the cone. *X is represented by a final sound. •13 pages of the same ice creams but with pictures + words. I noticed that sometimes my students don't think of or read the word - they just look at the first letter and match it to the capital one. This is a great activity by itself but sometimes I would like them to remember the word and match the sound. This is the reason I've included the wordless option. You can use whichever works for you, or both.

Beginning Sounds in Words
ELA, Language Development, Phonics, Preschool, Grade 1, 2, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
Recognizing beginning sounds lays the groundwork for reading skills. These worksheets give students practice isolating and identifying initial phonemes through interactive activities. Each box focuses on a target starting sound, with a bold letter at the top for reference. Students look at 4 different illustrations and circle any pictures that start with that letter's sound. For example, when the target is "B", learners will circle the banana. This simple yet effective exercise serves as a foundational step in phonics instruction. Connecting sounds to letters and pictures reinforces phonetic awareness. With pictures of things like food, animals, and vehicles, children apply knowledge to familiar vocabulary. Use them for individual practice or small group phonics instruction. The importance of teaching children to recognize initial sounds lies in its contribution to early literacy skills. Mastering initial sounds is a key precursor to understanding the alphabetic principle, where letters represent specific sounds in spoken language. This skill is foundational for decoding and reading fluency. Honing in on those starting sounds through visual discrimination boosts pre-reading abilities. Emerging readers will delight in searching for matches while refining an ear for phonemic awareness. Recognizing first sounds paves the way for sounding out words. These interactive worksheets make mastering beginning phonics engaging. Clipart images courtesy of Kari Bolt Clipart
