Animal Sounds

This worksheet uses pictures of animals such as sheep, dogs, and ants to teach phonics. Students are instructed to write each animal’s name into Elkonin boxes, segmenting the word into individual sounds. The worksheet helps children connect visuals to phonemic awareness. It is a simple yet effective activity for early readers to practice sound segmentation.

By completing this worksheet, students enhance their phonemic awareness and letter-sound correspondence. It fosters the ability to break words into phonemes, which is crucial for developing decoding skills in reading. Associating animals with their names also reinforces vocabulary. Additionally, it lays the groundwork for spelling and sound blending.
