Alphabet Worksheets Letter Recognition Beginning Pre-K Kindergarten Phonics - Free Printable

Final Answer:
Apple, anchor, astronaut, acorn, alligator, baby (with bottle — “baby” starts with B, so not included), duck (starts with D), elephant, guitar, candle (starts with C), book (starts with B).
Wait — we must only pick pictures whose *names* start with the letter A.

Let’s list each picture and its name:

- Anchor → starts with A ✔
- Duck → D ✘
- Elephant → E ✘
- Book → B ✘
- Guitar → G ✘
- Astronaut → A ✔
- Apple → A ✔
- Candle (or “candle”) → C ✘
- Alligator → A ✔
- Baby → B ✘
- Acorn → A ✔

Also: there’s a picture of a duck — no. A capital A and lowercase a are for tracing, not pictures.

So correct pictures starting with A:
1. Anchor
2. Astronaut
3. Apple
4. Alligator
5. Acorn

That’s 5 pictures.

Now, the first part says: “Punch the letter A and a.” That means find and mark (e.g., circle or punch) every instance of uppercase A and lowercase a in the border letters.

Let’s scan the border rows/columns:

Top row: A, H, I, a, m, K, P, G, A, V, W, a
→ A (1st), a (4th), A (9th), a (12th) → 4 instances

Left column (top to bottom, excluding top-left A already counted): F, H, a, c, Y, k, A, O, W, P, a, S, R
→ a (3rd), A (7th), a (11th) → 3 more

Right column (top to bottom, excluding top-right a already counted): D, K, C, f, e, a, X, Z, I, A, T, Q
→ a (6th), A (10th) → 2 more

Bottom row (left to right, excluding corners already counted): A, L, a, e, G, B, S, w, A, c, F
→ A (1st), a (3rd), A (9th) → 3 more

Total A/a in border:
Top: 4
Left (non-corner): 3
Right (non-corner): 2
Bottom (non-corner): 3
But check corners: top-left A counted in top row; top-right a counted in top row; bottom-left A counted in bottom row; bottom-right F is not A/a.

So total = 4 + 3 + 2 + 3 = 12 instances of A or a in the border.

However, the task is for a student to *punch* those letters — but since we’re giving the final answer, and the main instruction is two-part:
1. Punch A and a (we don’t output that — it’s an action)
2. Color the pictures that start with A.

The expected final answer is likely the list of pictures to color — but since the format asks for a single final answer, and this is a worksheet, the “answer” expected is identifying which pictures to color.

In such worksheets, the teacher expects the student to color:
anchor, apple, astronaut, alligator, acorn.

So the final answer is those 5 items.

But the instruction says: “Final Answer: [Provide only the final correct answer]”

Since it's not multiple choice, and the task is to identify the pictures, the cleanest final answer is listing the names:

anchor, apple, astronaut, alligator, acorn

Let me double-check each:
- Anchor ✔
- Apple ✔
- Astronaut ✔
- Alligator ✔
- Acorn ✔

Is there any other? The duck? No. The candle? No. The book? No. The guitar? No. The baby? “Baby” starts with B. The elephant? E. So only 5.

Final Answer: anchor, apple, astronaut, alligator, acorn
