Match the Pictures: Letter Matching Worksheet for Preschoolers
Connecting pictures to their matching letters helps children ages 3-5 build the foundation of phonics, learning that a printed letter represents the beginning sound of a spoken word. Circling the animals that specifically start with the letter B adds a second layer of practice, requiring children to apply that letter-sound knowledge rather than just matching shapes. This two-step approach moves children from simple visual matching toward true letter-sound recognition, a critical pre-reading skill.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the pictures on the left side of the page together and say each object's name out loud, emphasizing the very first sound. Ask your child to find the letter in the middle column that makes that same beginning sound and draw a line connecting the picture to the letter. Once all the pictures are matched to letters, go back through the page and have your child circle only the animals whose names start with the letter B. Read through the circled animals together at the end to confirm each one truly starts with B.
