Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a phonics activity designed for letter-sound recognition. It features ten images, each labeled with a number and accompanied by a group of three letters. The task for students is to identify the initial sound of the word represented by each image and circle the letter that corresponds to that sound. The letters provided include both correct and incorrect options, requiring the student to discriminate between sounds to find the correct match.

The worksheet’s purpose is to teach students the skill of identifying the beginning sounds in words and matching them to their corresponding letters. This is a foundational component of phonemic awareness, which is critical for developing reading and spelling abilities. By selecting the correct letter that represents the initial sound of the pictured object, students practice their understanding of the relationship between sounds and letters. This exercise also helps them improve their auditory discrimination and reinforces the concept that letters are symbols representing specific sounds in spoken language.
