Initial Sounds - Worksheet

The "Initial Sounds Worksheet" is a resource designed to help young learners with the basics of phonics by focusing on the initial sounds of words. This engaging activity asks students to select the correct letter sound from a provided list to complete a series of partially spelled words. The worksheet presents an array of incomplete words, such as "__us", "__og", "__ap", "__op", "__ar", "__up", "__in", and "__at", where students must determine and write the initial letter that correctly completes each word, thereby forming a recognisable English word.

Accompanying the incomplete words is a selection of letters, including 'b', 'p', 'f', 'd', 'm', 'c', 'j', 's', 't', and 'r', from which the students can choose. This exercise not only aids in reinforcing the association between sounds and letters but also enhances vocabulary and spelling skills. To assist educators and learners in verifying their answers, an answer key is provided, which reveals the correct initial letters for each word. This simple yet effective worksheet is a practical tool for teachers to use in their English language lessons, helping to build a strong phonetic foundation for early readers.
