Let's solve the "Beginning Sounds Worksheet" step by step.

---

🌟 Objective:

For each word, dot the letter that matches the beginning sound of the word. Then, write the beginning sound in the blank.

We’ll go through each box one by one.

🔹 1. Cat → at

- Picture: A cat
- Word: at
- Possible letters: r, b, c
- The beginning sound of "cat" is /k/, but the word written is "at", which starts with /a/.
- Wait — this might be a trick! Let’s look closely.

Actually, the picture shows a cat, and the word is "at"? That doesn’t match. But maybe it's testing if you can identify the sound of the word given, not the picture?

Wait — no. The word is written as "at", and the picture is a cat. But "cat" starts with c, and "at" starts with a.

But looking again: the word is "at", and the picture is a cat. This seems like an error unless we're supposed to focus on the word shown, not the picture.

But actually, the word is "at", so the beginning sound is /a/.

But the options are: r, b, c

None of those is a.

Hmm — this suggests something’s off.

Wait — let’s check carefully.

Looking at the image:

> Box 1:
> - Picture: Cat
> - Word: at
> - Letters: r, b, c

But “at” starts with a, which isn’t among the choices. But the picture is a cat, which starts with c.

Ah! So likely, the word is meant to be "cat", but it's written as "at"? Or perhaps the word is "at", and the picture is just for context?

But that doesn't make sense.

Wait — let's re-express the worksheet:

It says: "Dot and write the beginning sound of each word."

So we should focus on the word written, not the picture.

But the word is "at", which starts with a, but the letters to choose from are: r, b, c

That’s a problem.

Wait — perhaps the picture is a clue to what the word is?

Let’s assume the picture tells us the word, and the letters are for the beginning sound.

So:

✔ Correct Approach:

- Look at the picture.
- Identify the word the picture represents.
- Find the beginning sound of that word.
- Dot the correct letter (from the choices) that matches the beginning sound.
- Write the beginning sound in the blank.

Let’s do that.

🔹 1. Picture: Cat

- Word: ??? (but it says "at") — but likely the word is "cat", and "at" is a typo or misprint?
Wait — no, the word is clearly written as "at", not "cat".

But "at" doesn't match the picture.

Unless... the word is "cat", and they wrote "at" by mistake?

Alternatively, maybe the word is "cat", and the "at" is the rest of the word after the first letter?

Wait — that makes more sense!

Look at the format:
Each box has:
- A picture
- A word with the first letter missing, e.g., _at
- Then a list of letters to choose from

Ah! Now I see!

The word is _at, meaning the first letter is missing, and we have to choose the correct beginning letter based on the picture.

So the picture is a cat, so the full word is cat, so the missing letter is c.

So:
