This is a
Jolly Phonics worksheet designed to help young children learn the letter
S and its corresponding sound. Let's break down the task and solve it step by step.

🔹 1. Letter Tracing
At the top, there’s a large dotted letter
S with an arrow showing the direction to trace it. This helps children practice forming the letter correctly.
-
Task: Trace the letter
S following the dashed lines.
-
Purpose: Develop fine motor skills and letter formation.
Below this, there are three more dotted
S letters under the heading *"Tracing Practice"* — these should also be traced.
✔ Solution: Use a pencil or crayon to carefully trace over each dotted
S, following the arrows if present.

🔹 2. Picture Section: "Colour the objects and guess the beginning sound"
There are three pictures:
1. A
star
2. A
strawberry
3. A
sock
#### Step 1: Colour the objects
- Children should colour in all three pictures using their preferred colours (no specific rules for colouring).
#### Step 2: Guess the beginning sound
Now, identify the
beginning sound of each word:
| Object | Word | Beginning Sound |
|-------------|------------|------------------|
| Star | star |
s |
| Strawberry | strawberry |
s |
| Sock | sock |
s |
✔ All three words start with the sound /s/!
So, the answer is:
All of these objects begin with the 's' sound.
---
✔ Final Answer Summary:
-
Trace the letter
S in the dotted boxes.
-
Colour the star, strawberry, and sock.
- The
beginning sound for all three is
/s/.
> 🌟 Tip: Say the name of each object aloud and emphasize the “sssss” sound at the beginning!

💡 Educational Goal:
This worksheet teaches:
- Letter recognition (
S)
- Letter formation (tracing)
- Phonemic awareness (identifying the initial sound /s/)
- Vocabulary building
It's a fun and interactive way for early learners to connect letters with sounds and real-world objects.
