Letter Recognition & Sounds — Answer Key
Part A: Trace the Words
Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. jet
2. kit
3. log
4. map
5. net
6. pig
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The word red starts with the letter R.
Say red out loud and notice the first sound is a /r/ growl, which is the sound the letter R makes.
2. The letter N makes the /n/ sound.
The /n/ sound is made with your tongue touching the roof of your mouth, and the letter N is the one that spells that sound.
3. The word bug ends with the letter G.
When you say bug, the last sound is a short /g/ from the back of your throat, which is spelled with the letter G.
4. The letter J makes the /j/ sound.
The /j/ sound is the one you hear at the beginning of juice and jump, and it is spelled with the letter J.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. The word cat starts with the letter K.
True False
This is false because even though cat begins with a /k/ sound, it is spelled with the letter C at the start, not K.
2. The letter E is a vowel.
True False
This is true because the five vowels are A, E, I, O, and U, and E is the second vowel in that list.
3. The letter P makes the /p/ sound.
True False
This is true because the letter P stands for the /p/ popping sound, like the one you hear at the start of pop or pig.
