A & V Alphabet Worksheet: Color the Correct Letter!
Deciding whether a pictured word starts with A or V teaches children ages 3-5 to discriminate between two beginning sounds that can seem similar to a new listener, sharpening phonemic awareness in the process. Coloring the correct circle rather than just circling it adds an extra layer of engagement while still reinforcing the letter-sound match.
