ABOUT THIS WORKSHEET

What your child practices.

Beginning-sound isolation is THE first-grade readiness skill, and this sheet drills it with a twist: two of three pictures share the target sound, so your child must check every picture, not just find one.

  • Isolating a beginning sound
  • Checking all choices before deciding
  • Pure-sound listening (not letter names)
  • Saying “yes it starts with s / no it starts with h”

On the sheet: Circle every picture that starts with the bubble sound.
