    It might not look like an assignment designed to help kids learn to read, but the images on this colorful worksheet helps kids to build key phonics skills that, in turn, translates into pre-reading strategies. While working on the assessment, children say each picture name aloud while listening closely to the starting sound of each word they say. Then, they match the sound with an image in the same row whose name uses the same sound. Use this printable as a checkpoint for phonics readiness in kindergarten or grade 1!

Daughter's favorite
Still a top favorite for our 7 year old. She loves earning her stars as she learns to trace letters and numbers. Coloring and the sounds are engaging and are on target for her age group and being Pre K.
