Practice Beginning Letter Sounds worksheet with pictures of bananas, apple, carrot, watermelon, lemon, grapes, fig, strawberry, and pineapple.

Let’s go through each picture one by one and find the letter that matches the beginning sound of the word.

1. Bananas – The word starts with “b”. So, circle b.
2. Apple – The word starts with “a”. So, circle a.
3. Carrot – The word starts with “c”. So, circle c.
4. Watermelon slice – It’s a piece of watermelon, but we say “slice” or think of it as “watermelon”? Wait — look at the options: s, p, w. The picture is a *slice*, so it starts with “s”. Circle s.
- (Note: Some might think “watermelon”, which starts with “w”, but since “slice” is more direct for this image and “s” is an option, we’ll go with “s”. But let’s double-check — actually, in early phonics, they often use the main fruit name. Watermelon starts with “w”. Hmm… Let’s see the other clues. Actually, looking again — the image is clearly a wedge/slice, and “slice” begins with “s”. Also, “watermelon” would be too long for beginner level. So yes, s is correct.)
5. Lemon – Starts with “l”. So, circle l.
6. Grapes – Starts with “g”. So, circle g.
7. Fig – Starts with “f”. So, circle f.
8. Strawberry – Starts with “s”. So, circle s.
9. Pineapple – Starts with “p”. So, circle p.

Wait — let me recheck #4. Is it “slice” or “watermelon”? In most kindergarten worksheets like this, if it’s a slice of watermelon, they still expect “w” for watermelon. But here, the options are s, p, w — and “watermelon” starts with “w”. However, sometimes they simplify to the visible object — “slice”. But let’s think: what do kids usually learn? They learn “watermelon” as the fruit. And “w” is an option. Also, “slice” isn’t typically taught as a standalone vocabulary word at this level. So maybe it’s “w”.

Actually, let’s compare with others: all other pictures are whole fruits/veggies except this one. But even then, the intended word is likely “watermelon”. Let me check online or standard practice — no, I can’t, but logically: if it were “slice”, why not show a knife or something? It’s clearly a watermelon slice. But in phonics, they focus on the fruit name. For example, you wouldn’t say “orange slice” for orange — you’d say “orange”. Similarly, here it should be “watermelon” → “w”.

But wait — the options include “s”, “p”, “w”. If it’s watermelon, it’s “w”. If it’s slice, it’s “s”. Which is more likely? Looking at the pattern: all other items are named by their common fruit/veg name: banana, apple, carrot, lemon, grapes, fig, strawberry, pineapple. So this one should be “watermelon” → “w”.

I think I made a mistake earlier. Let’s correct:

4. Watermelon – starts with “w”. Circle w.

Now, let’s list them all correctly:

- Bananas → b
- Apple → a
- Carrot → c
- Watermelon → w
- Lemon → l
- Grapes → g
- Fig → f
- Strawberry → s
- Pineapple → p

Double-checking:

- Banana: b ✔️
- Apple: a ✔️
- Carrot: c ✔️
- Watermelon: w ✔️ (not s — because it's the fruit name)
- Lemon: l ✔️
- Grapes: g ✔️
- Fig: f ✔️
- Strawberry: s ✔️
- Pineapple: p ✔️

All match the first letter of the common name of the item shown.

Final Answer:
Circle these letters:
- First row: b, a, c
- Second row: w, l, g
- Third row: f, s, p
