Gr Beginning Sounds

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is an exercise in phonics where students practice altering words by changing their beginning sounds to the “GR” blend. The worksheet provides a list of words, and students must replace the beginning sound of each word with “GR” to form a new word. The first word is given as an example: “place” becomes “grace” when the “pl” sound is replaced with “gr.” The students are then prompted to complete the table for the remaining nine words, following the example provided.

The worksheet teaches students the concept of consonant blends and how changing the initial sounds of words can create new words. It enhances the students’ phonemic awareness, a crucial skill in reading and spelling. By completing this exercise, students learn to manipulate sounds within words, which can help them understand the patterns of the English language. This activity also encourages students to think critically about word structure and sound relationships, reinforcing their vocabulary and spelling abilities through practice.
