Initial Sound in a Word

Initial Sound in a Word is a phonics resource designed to help early elementary students learn how to identify the beginning sound in words. This packet contains worksheets featuring engaging clipart images of common objects. Students will look at each picture, identify what the object is, and determine the first letter that makes the beginning sound of the word. They will then locate that letter among the letters listed and color it in. These worksheets can be used individually or in small groups as a fun way for K-2 students to practice phonics skills. The PDF worksheets work well for whole class instruction, independent practice, homework, or morning work. This resource provides a multisensory approach to build phonics skills using visual, auditory, and fine motor practice tracing and coloring the beginning letter.
