Changing First Letters

Worksheet Description

The “Phoneme Substitution” worksheet is a dynamic resource designed to strengthen students’ phonemic awareness abilities. Phonemic awareness involves the recognition and manipulation of individual sounds in words, which is fundamental for proficient reading and spelling.

In this worksheet, students will be challenged to transform words by substituting their initial sounds with new sounds to create words that correspond to the given images. Specifically:

• Students will examine a series of pictures and identify the associated words.
• They will then replace the beginning sound of each word with a new sound of their choice.
• By doing this, they will form entirely new words that match the provided pictures.
• Students will write down the new words they create.

This activity not only hones students’ phonemic awareness but also encourages creativity in language exploration.
