84 free beginning sounds worksheets: A for aeroplane, match letters to pictures, trace first-sound words — phonics for Nursery to Class 1.
Hearing the first sound of a word is the first real phonics skill, and it is what turns letter names into reading. On these worksheets a child looks at a picture, says the word slowly — “ffff-ish” — and links it to the letter it starts with. There are three kinds of sheets: “A for Aeroplane” letter pages, picture sheets where the child circles every object that starts with the letter’s sound, and “say and trace” sheets with beginning-sound words to trace.
They suit Nursery and LKG for listening and matching, and UKG and Class 1 for tracing the words. Always use the letter’s sound, not only its name: “b” says /b/ as in ball. Some pictures may have Indian or British names that differ from the sheet (a “sofa” may be drawn as a “couch”) — talk about it, that is good vocabulary practice. After the sheet, play “I spy something beginning with /m/” around the house.
Tip for parents and teachers: Teach the sound, not the name: say /s/ (a hiss), not “ess”. Keep the sound short for stop letters — /b/ not “buh” — so that blending words later is easier.
