About this worksheet
Capital letters A, B, C, D and E run down the left side. On the right, five pictures appear in mixed-up order: a dog, a cat, an elephant, an apple and a banana, each with its name printed underneath. Your child says each picture's name and draws a line from the letter to the picture that starts with that sound.
Around ages 3 to 5, many children begin to hear the first sound of a spoken word on its own. That skill, together with knowing which letter goes with the sound, is one of the early building blocks of reading. The first five letters and five familiar words make this a gentle place to start.
Because the pictures are out of order, most lines cross the page. Before your child picks up a pencil, point to each picture and stretch its first sound together: a-a-apple, b-b-banana.
How to use this sheet
Have your child finger-trace each line before drawing it in pencil, so a wrong match can be fixed before it goes on paper. If cat and dog get mixed up, say the two words slowly one after the other.
