🔍 Explanation:
- The task is to
identify the object in each picture, then write the
first letter of its name.
- This helps children develop
phonemic awareness,
letter recognition, and
vocabulary.
- For example:
- A pig starts with
P.
- A king starts with
K.
- A xylophone starts with
X — a less common letter, so it’s good practice!
