About this worksheet
Eight printable beginning sound puzzles: each card has a letter on one half (a, b, c, d, f, g, h, m) and a picture on the other (apple, bear, cow, duck, fox, gift, hen, mouse), joined by a puzzle knob. Kids cut the cards out, cut them in two, mix them up and fit each letter back to its picture. A hands-on game for the table. A grown-up can read the short directions aloud while the child does the reading of the word itself.
Tips for using it
- Say the first sound slowly and a little longer: sss-un.
- Avoid adding 'uh' to sounds: say /b/, not 'buh', so blending is easier later.
- Start with sounds that are easy to stretch, like m, s and f.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
