About this resource
Description
Many words begin with two letters that work as a team, like the sh in shoe or the sw in swing. This sh, sk, dr, sc, sw beginning sounds worksheet gives 1st grade students focused practice hearing and writing five of these beginning sounds. Children say each picture name, listen closely to the first sounds, and write the letter pair that starts the word.
The page has ten bright picture cards: a skirt, a shoe, a drum, a sweater, scissors, a skate, a dress, shorts, a swing, and a scarf. Beside each picture, the rest of the word is already printed, so students only write sh, sk, dr, sc, or sw on the line to finish it. Use this worksheet as a phonics center, a small-group lesson, morning work, or a quick check after teaching blends and the sh digraph.
What’s Included
- Page 1: ten picture cards for the sh, sk, dr, sc, and sw beginning sounds
- Page 2: an answer key with every letter pair filled in
Why This Worksheet Helps Kids
- It trains children to hear the first two sounds of a word, not just the first letter.
- Writing the letter pair in front of a printed word ending connects sounds to spelling.
- Clear, colorful pictures help early readers name each word with confidence.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before starting, say sh, sk, dr, sc, and sw aloud and have children notice which ones blend two sounds and which one makes a single new sound. After the sheet, ask students to think of one more word for each beginning sound, such as ship, sky, drip, scoop, or swim. This 1st grade beginning blends worksheet also works well with letter tiles, so children can build each word before they write it. For extra practice, send the sh, sk, dr, sc, sw beginning sounds worksheet home and invite families to find clothes and toys that start with each sound.
