C, D, E Letter Sounds Worksheet: Circle and Count!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This activity gives children ages 3-5 focused practice recognizing the beginning sounds of the letters C, D, and E, asking them to circle matching pictures in different colors for each letter before counting the results. Combining phonics with counting means children practice two skills in one sitting: identifying initial letter sounds and recording a numeric total, both foundational for kindergarten readiness. Color-coding each letter also helps children visually organize the three sounds instead of mixing them together.

Unlike single-picture beginning sound tasks, scanning an entire row of images and filtering for matches builds sustained visual attention alongside phonics, since children must reject several near-matches before finding the correct ones.
