Beginning Letter Match with Supermarket Things

What letter does it start with? On this matching sheet a child connects each supermarket things picture to its beginning letter. Looking at a cart, a basket and a till and the others, the child says the word, listens for the first sound, and draws a line to the letter that makes it. Matching pictures to their starting letters is beginning letter-sound practice — the core decoding skill Kindergarten readers are building.

Knowing which letter a word starts with — by its sound — is core Kindergarten reading readiness. Pairing each supermarket things picture with its beginning letter rehearses that letter-sound link directly, building the phonics foundation a child needs before reading whole words. The pictures keep every match about hearing the first sound.

Children who like matching supermarket things to their beginning letters get quicker at hearing first sounds each time. When this feels easy, match the letters in beginning letters with bakery treats, or try beginning letters with camping gear. You can also browse every beginning-letter worksheet or the whole kindergarten collection — each sheet prints cleanly or plays online for free, and the more a child matches, the surer their grasp of letter sounds grows, building the phonics foundation that reading words rests on.
