Say each picture name aloud slowly, emphasizing the first sound (e.g., /s/ for skate, /s/ for snowman, /h/ for hat, /m/ for mitten). Encourage children to repeat the sounds and point to the letter choices before circling the correct one. For extra practice, kids can color the winter pictures after completing the beginning sound activity.

This worksheet is perfect for winter literacy centers, morning work, small-group phonics practice, or early reading warm-ups.
