ABOUT THIS WORKSHEET

What your child practices.

Phoneme counting is the deepest phonemic awareness skill: hearing that cat is THREE sounds even though it is three letters, and that sheep has fewer sounds than letters. Color one circle per sound — hands can hop too.

  • Segmenting words into sounds
  • Counting sounds (not letters!)
  • One-to-one sound-to-circle matching
  • Distinguishing short and long words

On the sheet: Color one circle for every sound in each word.
