Phonics Worksheet: Color the Correct Letter - Letter Sounds
This phonics worksheet asks children ages 3-5 to say the name of each pictured object and identify which letter matches its beginning sound, then color that letter box. Isolating and identifying the very first sound in a spoken word is one of the core early literacy skills that predicts later reading success, and practicing it with real pictures rather than abstract letters makes it concrete.

How to use this worksheet
Look at the first picture together and say its name slowly and clearly, stretching out the first sound — 's-s-sun.' Show your child the letter choices next to the picture and ask which one matches that beginning sound. Have them color the box containing the correct letter. Repeat this process for each picture on the page, always saying the word aloud before choosing a letter.
