Alphabet Beginning Sounds Sorting Worksheets - Free Printable

To solve this worksheet, we need to look at each row and find the picture that starts with the same sound as the letter on the left.

Row 1: Letter 'a'
- The letter is a. It makes the short "a" sound like in "apple".
- Picture 1: Apple. Starts with "a". (Match!)
- Picture 2: Alligator. Starts with "a". (Match!)
- Picture 3: Astronaut. Starts with "a". (Match!)
*Wait, looking closer at the grid structure:* Usually, these worksheets have one correct answer per row or column, but here it looks like a grid where you match the letter to *all* items that start with that sound. Let's re-read the instruction: "Find the Beginning Sound".
Let's look at the rows again.
- Row 'a': Apple, Alligator, Astronaut. All three start with 'a'.
- Row 'b': Butterfly, Beach Ball, Banana. All three start with 'b'.
- Row 'c': Carrot, Cat, Cupcake. All three start with 'c'.

Actually, looking at the layout, it seems the task is simply to identify that all the pictures in the row next to the letter 'a' start with 'a', all pictures next to 'b' start with 'b', and so on. Or perhaps the student is supposed to circle the ones that match. Since all items in each row match the letter, the solution is confirming the matches.

Let's double-check the sounds:
- a: Apple, Alligator, Astronaut. Correct.
- b: Butterfly, Beach ball, Banana. Correct.
- c: Carrot, Cat, Cupcake. Correct.

The task is to recognize the beginning sound for each group.

Final Answer:
All pictures in the row next to the letter a (apple, alligator, astronaut) start with the sound /a/.
All pictures in the row next to the letter b (butterfly, beach ball, banana) start with the sound /b/.
All pictures in the row next to the letter c (carrot, cat, cupcake) start with the sound /c/.
