Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. bat
2. cup
3. dog
4. fan
5. gum
6. hat
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The letter B makes the /b/ sound.
Goat begins with the hard /g/ sound that comes from the back of your throat, which is exactly the sound letter G makes.
2. The word sun starts with the letter S.
Say "hat" slowly and the very first sound is a breathy /h/, which is the letter H at the beginning of the word.
3. The letter M makes the /m/ sound.
When you say jam, the first sound is a /j/ like in jump or jelly, and the letter J is the one that makes that sound.
4. The word top ends with the letter P.
A kite is a paper toy attached to a string that flies in the wind, and its name starts with the letter K.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. The letter D makes the /d/ sound.
True False
This is true because when you sing the ABCs, you say E, F, G, H in order, so G is right before H.
2. The word kite starts with the letter T.
True False
This is false because hat begins with an /h/ sound spelled with the letter H, while the letter J makes the /j/ sound in words like jar.
3. The letter A is a vowel.
True False
This is true because kite starts with a /k/ sound, and that is exactly the sound the letter K makes.
