About this worksheet

One row for each sound. Some pictures have the sound and some don't. Listening for the sound is half the work.

What kids practice

These sheets give kids lots of short, fun practice saying six speech sounds: k (as in cat), g (as in goat), f (as in fish), v (as in van), y (as in yo-yo) and ng (as in ring). Most children say k, g, f, y and ng by about age 4, and v by about age 5. Kids who are still working on them in first grade often say t for k (tat for cat), d for g, p for f, b for v, or n for ng. Common Core doesn't cover speech sounds, so these sheets have no Common Core code.

Watch for

  • Saying the sound right alone but not in words. That's normal. Keep going word by word.
  • Practicing too fast. Slow, clear tries teach the mouth better than quick ones.
  • Correcting every word in everyday talk. Save practice for practice time.
  • If your child is hard to understand or gets frustrated when talking, ask your pediatrician or a speech-language pathologist for a check.

It's free to print, with an answer key. See the full sounds k g f v y ng (mixed practice) guide for 1st grade.
