This easy first-grade worksheet builds beginning-sound awareness by tracing six short CVC words: bat, cup, dog, fan, gum, and hat. Children then fill in single-letter blanks identifying the /b/ sound, the starting letter of 'sun', the /m/ sound, and the ending letter of 'top'. A short true-or-false section checks whether the letter D makes the /d/ sound, whether 'kite' starts with T, and whether A is a vowel.

Tracing real words instead of isolated letters gives first graders a head start on decoding and sets up smoother spelling work later in the year.
