Free Printable Beginning Sounds Missing Letters Worksheets

Free missing beginning letter worksheets for kindergarten. Complete simple picture words by writing the first sound.

Browse the pages Free to print

Start with one sound at a time: say the picture word, choose the letter, and then check the page together.

Why this collection works

Small practice with a clear purpose.

Missing-first-letter pages ask learners to hold a whole word in mind while noticing what is absent at the beginning. The picture gives meaning, the spoken word gives the sound, and the blank gives a reason to write. Use these worksheets after children have practiced oral beginning sounds. Invite them to say the completed word when they finish so the letter is connected to a real word, not only a symbol.
