Why Beginning Sounds Are Important
Understanding beginning sounds is a crucial step in learning to read. It helps children:
- Develop Phonemic Awareness: Phonemic Awareness is the ability to hear, identify, and manipulate individual sounds in words. Recognizing and identifying sounds in words is foundational for reading.
- Improve Vocabulary: Associating pictures with words broadens a child’s vocabulary.
- Enhance Listening Skills: Focusing on sounds improves overall listening and comprehension abilities.
- Build a foundation for decoding words: Beginning sounds worksheets help children recognize and match initial sounds with corresponding letters. This foundational skill is crucial for starting to decode words.

Tips for using these worksheets
We used dab a dot markers to complete these sheets. They can be great for developing hand eye coordination.
Another fun option is to use Halloween stampers.
Review the words before hand. My 5 year old got most of them, only got tripped up on potion and broom, which she called a mop, and she thought the mummy was a zombie.
There are a few tricky ones where for instance the word starts with a b but there is a letter d option too as kids frequently mix these letters up.
