Ages 4-7 · Pre-K–Grade 1Ages 4-7 · Reception–Year 2Ages 4-7 · LKG–Class 1Ages 4-7

CVC 'ob' Word Family Read, Cut and Reveal Worksheet
Ages 4-7 · Pre-K–Grade 1Ages 4-7 · Reception–Year 2Ages 4-7 · LKG–Class 1Ages 4-7
Children read five 'ob' words (cob, job, mob, rob, sob) by blending three sounds, check each one against a hidden picture (a corn cob, a person at work, a crowd, a monkey taking fruit and a crying child) and write it, so they see that changing the first sound makes a new word.

Fun Phonics Worksheet: Matching Uppercase and Lowercase Letters!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This matching worksheet teaches children ages 3-5 to recognize that uppercase and lowercase versions of the same letter — like S and s — represent one letter despite looking different, a concept that trips up many early readers. Drawing a line between the four matching pairs builds visual discrimination and letter-form memory, while the follow-up task of circling pictures that start with 'C' adds practice connecting a letter to its sound.
Say My Sound: Beginning Sounds Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 identify the beginning sounds of familiar words and match them to the correct letters, an essential early phonics skill for sounding out words later. Coloring each picture after identifying its sound keeps the activity playful while still requiring focused listening.
Circle the Correct Letter: Fun Phonics Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-5 · Pre-KAges 4-5 · ReceptionAges 4-5 · LKGAges 4-5
This phonics worksheet helps children ages 4-5 connect a picture's beginning sound to its matching letter, a key decoding skill on the path to independent reading. Circling the correct letter from a small set of choices also builds visual discrimination, since children must tell similar-looking letters apart under a bit of time pressure.
Blend Words Matching Worksheet: Read and Circle the Picture!
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet gives children ages 4-6 further practice reading consonant blend words and connecting them to their matching picture, this time by circling rather than cutting and pasting, which keeps the focus purely on reading and visual scanning. Repeated blend practice across different formats — matching, circling, and later independent writing — helps these two-consonant sounds become automatic rather than something a child has to sound out every time.
Phonics Worksheet: Write the First Letter and Draw!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
Identifying the first letter of a pictured object's name and writing it down builds phonemic awareness and letter-formation practice for children ages 3-5, while the follow-up drawing task builds creative thinking and fine motor control.
Match the Letter: N, O, P Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
Drawing a line from an uppercase letter to a picture that starts with the same sound reinforces letter-sound correspondence for children ages 3-5, connecting the shape of N, O, and P to their spoken sounds.
F, G, H Letter Sounds Cut and Paste Worksheet
Ages 4-5 · Pre-KAges 4-5 · ReceptionAges 4-5 · LKGAges 4-5
This worksheet builds phonemic awareness in children ages 4-5 by asking them to isolate the beginning sound of each picture and sort it under the correct letter — F, G, or H. Sorting across three letters at once, rather than just one, requires children to hold multiple sound-letter associations in mind and choose between them, which is a step up in difficulty from single-letter worksheets. This kind of comparative sound-sorting strengthens the phonics foundation needed for early reading.
