About this resource
Description
The letters k and c both spell the same sound, /k/, and that is exactly what makes them tricky for a new reader. A kindergartner who can hear the sound at the front of a word still has to choose which letter writes it down. This beginning sounds k, c worksheet gives that choice nine times over, using pictures a five year old can name on sight, so the sound work and the letter work happen together on one page.
About This Worksheet
Each of the nine cards shows one clear picture with the end of its word already printed beside a writing line. The child says the picture name out loud, listens for the sound at the very beginning, and writes a k or a c on the line to finish the word. Because the rest of the word is already there, a child who is not yet reading can still complete every item by sound alone. The pictures on this beginning sounds k, c worksheet are cake, car, kite, corn, cat, key, carrot, koala and candle, so six words are spelled with c and three with k, which is much closer to how English really works than an even split would be.
What’s Included
- One printable page with nine picture cards
- A single writing line in every card, sized for kindergarten handwriting
- Six words that begin with c and three that begin with k
- A full answer key on the second page
- Name and date line, ready to print and hand out
Three Reasons It Helps Kids
- Saying the picture name aloud makes the child produce the sound before writing it, which is the step that actually builds phonemic awareness.
- Writing a single letter, rather than circling a choice, practises letter formation at the same time as the sound, so one page does two jobs.
- Meeting k and c side by side teaches early that one sound can have more than one spelling, which is the foundation for later phonics work.
Ideas For Teachers And Parents
Use this kindergarten beginning sounds worksheet in a small group, at a literacy centre, or as review after a letter of the week lesson. Say each picture name together before the children start, stretching the first sound. Early finishers can hunt the classroom for one more object that starts with k and one that starts with c and draw them on the back of the page.
