Write the Beginning Sound Worksheets

By thisreadingmama 7 Comments

Just like our ending sound worksheets, these beginning sound worksheets are a simple, no prep way to listen for beginning sounds in words {phonemic awareness}, associate a letter with the sound {phonics}, AND practice a little handwriting, too!

If you like educational apps, you may enjoy our Alphabet Sounds App or Trace It, Try It App. Both apps have games and activities for letter sound work and letter formation.

Write the Beginning Sound Worksheets

It’s been so fun to see how each of my own kids prefers to learn. With my youngest {just turned 5…sniff, sniff}, it’s writing. She would write words and letters ALL DAY if I let her. Lately, it’s been, “Mom, let’s write!” or “Mom, will you print me some schoolwork?”

I love it. It gets my creative juices flowing {and then I get to share more with you}!

writing the beginning sounds for each picture

I created five different write the beginning sound worksheets for her to do that incorporate letter sounds and writing at the same time. Between all five pages, it covers every letter in the alphabet, including vowels {some short, some long}. She has simply gobbled them up!


While I do refer to our handwriting posters, found in the extra goodies of Learning the Alphabet, she’s a “free spirit” most of the time and doesn’t take too well to direct instruction or correction. {It will be an interesting Kindergarten year next year…}

So, I don’t over-correct her handwriting. These beginning sound worksheets are just for exposure and her enjoyment {and to sneak in some letter sound review}.

If you teach a learner that you feel needs more support or guidance in writing her letters, feel free to use level 1 of this pack. These pages have the beginning sound provided, like you see in the picture above. Learners can trace the beginning sounds on these pages. You may also like our free Trace It, Try It Handwriting Pages.

 

One of my favorite things about these worksheets is that they are NO PREP, just like my newly updated Print & Play Alphabet Sounds Games. These games are not worksheets, but interactive games kids can play to work on beginning AND ending alphabet sounds!

 

What Happened to Hands-On Alphabet Learning?

It’s true. Worksheets aren’t very hands-on. That’s why they are not a steady diet for my preschooler.

Learning the Alphabet is a great way to help learners learn the alphabet in hands-on ways. With fun activities and games, learners will begin to connect their letters to those sometimes tricky letter sounds.

My five year old and I are also beginning to work through Reading the Alphabet, which is more hands-on and takes her deeper into lots of reading skills, even beyond the alphabet.
