Q and C Vocabulary Worksheet: Circle and Square the Pictures!

How to use this worksheet

Look at the first picture together and say its name slowly, listening for whether it starts with the 'kw' sound of Q or the hard 'k' sound of C. If the picture starts with Q, have your child circle it; if it starts with C, have them draw a square around it instead. Continue through the remaining pictures, encouraging your child to say each word out loud before deciding which shape to draw. When finished, review the page together, sorting the circled and squared pictures into two separate spoken lists.
