Beginning Sounds with Fourth of July Things — Letter F

Which Fourth of July things begin with F? On this Kindergarten worksheet the child says each picture and keeps the ones that start with F's sound — french fries and flag. Sounding out the start of french fries and deciding whether it matches the letter F is letter-sound work, the bedrock of reading. The scene is full of flags, stars and a drum, so there are plenty of first sounds to compare against F.

Matching a sound to its letter is what eventually lets a child decode words, and it starts with beginning sounds like F's. This sheet has the child hear the opening of each picture — french fries and the rest of the Fourth of July things — and connect it to F. A scene of flags, stars and a drum offers many first sounds, so the sound-letter link gets rehearsed across a rich mix of words rather than drilled one at a time.

Children who enjoy hunting the Fourth of July things settle into saying each picture and listening for the F sound, and every match is a small win. When F feels easy, try the beginning sounds in the B-sound pictures in fourth of july things, or the C-sound pictures in fourth of july things. You can also browse every beginning-sounds worksheet or the whole Fourth of July things collection for kindergarten — each sheet prints cleanly or plays online for free, and the more first sounds a child hunts, the quicker the link between a sound and its letter becomes automatic.
