About this worksheet

O says /o/. Pictures of an octopus, an olive, an otter and an ox to color, then find the ones that start with /o/.

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, with an answer key. See the full letter names and sounds phonics guide for kindergarten.
