About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students segment spoken one-syllable words with blends into four individual sounds in order.
  • Students identify complete sound sequences for words with beginning and ending blends.
  • Students distinguish single sounds spelled sh, ch, or ng within four-sound words.

How to use

Name every picture for children first. Read prompts and sound choices aloud without adding an uh sound to consonants. Have children say all four sounds before choosing or matching; letters between slashes represent sounds, not letter names.
