This Beginning Sounds printable worksheet gives early learners a fun summer spin on phonics practice! Kids will look at summer-themed pictures — like a watermelon, tent, sun, and crab — and circle the correct beginning sound letter for each one. It's a hands-on way to build letter-sound connections, phonemic awareness, and early reading skills.

This worksheet is perfect for preschoolers and kindergartners who are working on identifying beginning sounds. It's a staple skill for kindergarten readiness, and the summer theme makes it feel fresh and fun. Teachers can use it in a phonics center, as a quick assessment, or during a summer review unit. Parents and homeschool families will love having a no-prep page that reinforces such an important skill. Just print and let your little learner listen for those beginning sounds!

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!
