Phonemic awareness gets hands-on in this beginning sounds worksheet, where kids listen to or say the names of each fruit image and identify its initial sound.

The word search-style grid invites kids to find and circle letters that match the beginning sounds of the pictures shown, blending visual literacy with early phonics practice in a way that feels like a puzzle.

This printable is well-suited for preschool and kindergarten learners who are building letter-sound connections and moving toward reading readiness.

It works great in a literacy center, as a small group phonics activity, or as a focused take-home practice page. A smart, skill-packed worksheet that covers a lot of early literacy ground on a single page.

In my newsletter, For Moms With Minis, I share free activity printables designed for kids aged 2-5. These fun activities help little ones practice colors, numbers, letters, fine motor skills, and more. Don’t worry if your child can’t do everything just yet—each activity is designed with different levels of difficulty in mind. The key is to have fun, be patient, and enjoy the time spent together. Every bit of practice counts, and I’m here to support you along the way!
