Cut and Paste the First Letter: Fun Phonics Worksheet for Preschoolers
Children ages 4-5 practice identifying the beginning sound of a word and matching it to the correct letter, a core early phonics skill, while also building fine motor control through cutting and pasting. Connecting a picture's name to its first letter sound is one of the clearest building blocks toward independent reading.

How to use this worksheet
Have your child cut out the letters at the bottom of the page along the dotted lines. Look at the first picture together and say its name slowly, stretching out the beginning sound so your child can hear it clearly. Have your child find the letter that matches that beginning sound and glue it into the box below the picture, repeating this process for each picture on the page.
