What this sheet practices
Each item names a picture word and asks for its beginning letter. The word is printed, so the task is sound-to-letter, not picture recognition.
Errors worth watching for
- Confusing letters that sound similar, such as b and d, or m and n.
- Choosing a letter that appears later in the word instead of at the start.
How to use it
- Set the difficulty. Easy narrows the range; challenge adds missing values or extra steps.
- Choose how many questions and how many fit on a page. Ten per page is the most readable default.
- Print, or save as PDF. Replace any single question with the circular arrow if it does not fit your group.

About this generator
Are the words read aloud?
No audio. Read the word to your child if needed; the printed word is there so the sheet still works independently.
Which letters are covered?
All 26 letters, including short vowel sounds at the start of words.
Can I print this worksheet on A4 paper?
Yes. Switch Paper to A4 in the settings panel. The layout recalculates the page height and keeps 0.5-inch margins, so nothing is cut off.
Is an answer key included?
The generator always produces an answer key and worked solutions. They are part of the pass; the student sheet can be previewed and printed for free.
