About this worksheet
Three-page letter J set that teaches the sound /j/, as in jam. Page 1 is a read-together page with the syllables ja, je, ji, jo and ju, the first words jam, jet and jacket and a picture where children find jeep, jam, jug, juice, jungle and jaguar. On page 2 kids trace jam, jet, jug and jar, color the pictures that start with j and write the first letter. Page 3 is the answer key. It suits kindergarten, about ages 5 to 6, with large print and short, decodable words.
Tips for using it
- Say the sound, not the letter name: mmm, not em. Keep it short and clean, without adding uh at the end (t, not tuh).
- On page 1 slide a finger down the syllable ladder and stretch each one: mmmaaa, ma.
- Let your child find the things in the picture before reading the words under it, then write the letter in the red boxes together.
- Do the worksheet on another day. One page a day is plenty at age five.
