Beginning Sounds with Accessories — Letter G

Begin with goggles and listen to its first sound. This sheet asks the child to find every one of the accessories that starts the same way as G — goggles and glove — and mark them. The point is the sound at the front of each word and the letter G it belongs to, the Kindergarten letter-sound link, set in a scene mixing hats, belts and a scarf so the child sifts many opening sounds to find G's.

Hearing the opening sound of a spoken word and tying it to a letter is exactly the letter-sound correspondence Kindergarten readers build. Marking the accessories that begin with G rehearses it many times: say goggles, listen to its start, match G. Because the child works from pictures and their own voice, no reading is needed — just the ear and the growing sense that G stands for one particular sound.

Listening for G across a scene of accessories turns phonics into a game, and finishing one letter invites the next. Try the A-sound pictures in accessories, or the B-sound pictures in accessories. Browse all the beginning-sounds worksheets or the entire accessories set, free to print or play online for kindergarten, and watch how quickly a child starts catching the first sound in a word on their own.
