About this chart

Every letter A to Z with its sound and a picture.

What kids practice

Kindergartners learn the name of every letter and the sound it makes. Knowing letter sounds is the key that unlocks reading, because kids can then sound out words like c-a-t. Letter sounds are the building blocks of phonics.

Watch for

  • Adding "uh" to sounds, like "buh" or "tuh," which makes blending harder later.
  • Mixing up b and d, or p and q.
  • Thinking c and k make different sounds. They both say /k/ in cat and kite.

It's free to print, as many copies as you need. See the full letter names and sounds phonics guide for kindergarten.
