๐ Topic Summary
Beginning Sounds worksheets for Grade 1 are designed to help young learners master letter recognition and phonics. These worksheets focus on identifying the initial sound of words, which is a foundational skill for reading and spelling. By matching letters to the sounds they make at the beginning of words, children develop phonemic awareness and build a strong base for literacy.
๐ Part A: Vocabulary
Match the following terms with their definitions:
| Term |
Definition |
| 1. Consonant |
A. A letter that is not a vowel (a, e, i, o, u). |
| 2. Vowel |
B. The sound a letter makes at the start of a word. |
| 3. Beginning Sound |

| 4. Letter Recognition |
