Beginning sounds g–l — Phonics for kids

How the sounds work

Listen to the first sound — “say the word slowly — the very first sound tells you the letter”

1. Say each picture word slowly and listen to the start.
2. Match the first sound to the letter: goat starts with g, lion starts with l.
3. If two pictures start with the same sound, they start with the same letter.

Use it for: Learning letters g to l, reading names and labels, and early spelling.

Worked example: Which word starts with the letter “g”? → goat
