Phonics Printables

Initial Consonant Sounds - b, c, d, f, g, h

Our phonics printables make a great supplement to any language arts program.  Preschoolers and kindergartners -- or anyone just learning beginning sounds -- will find the pages here to be just right for them.

On each worksheet, students are asked to match each picture to one of three consonants. They'll also need to trace both the upper and lower case letters.

Use the links at the bottom of the page to find more phonics worksheets at different levels of difficulty.
