Beginning Sounds Worksheets for Grapheme Phoneme Correspondence 

This set of beginning sounds worksheets is designed to introduce each letter of the alphabet along with its primary phoneme. For each worksheet, students go on a visual scavenger hunt, searching through a collection of images to identify those that begin with the target letter sound. This engaging activity encourages phonemic awareness, as students practise identifying the beginning sounds of words and connecting them to the corresponding letters.

Exploring Phoneme-Grapheme Correspondence

Phoneme-grapheme correspondence is the connection between sounds and their written symbols. This knowledge forms the building blocks for students and is one of the first steps in phonics instruction. This knowledge allows them to decode new words.

This set of worksheets just focuses on single phoneme-grapheme correspondence and provides students with a clear, foundational understanding of individual letter sounds before moving onto more complex patterns.
