About this worksheet
A free printable color by beginning sound worksheet for kids who cannot read yet: a 7 by 7 grid of picture squares. Kids say each name and color the squares with an h picture (hat, hen, house, horse ...) red and the squares with an s picture (sun, sock, snail, sled ...) blue, and a big heart appears. Colored answer key on page 2. It suits kindergarten, about ages 5 to 6, with large print and short, simple words.
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). Page 1 is the worksheet and page 2 is the answer key with the answers in red; print just page 1 if you want to keep the answers for checking. Free for personal, family and classroom use.
