Recognizing Letters

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a letter recognition activity designed to help students practice identifying specific letters within a grid of assorted letters. There are three sections, each with a grid containing a mix of letters and an image of an object above it, which begins with one of the letters from the grid. Students are instructed to find and circle the letter that corresponds to the initial sound of the object pictured. For example, the first grid has an apple, and students need to circle all the ‘A’s they can find within the grid.

The worksheet aims to strengthen students’ ability to recognize letters by their shape and to associate them with sounds, specifically the initial sounds of familiar objects. It helps to develop visual scanning skills as they search for the target letter among other distractors. This activity also enhances the students’ understanding of the connection between letters and the sounds they represent, which is a fundamental skill for reading. By repeating the task with different letters and associated objects, students can practice this skill across various contexts.
