About this worksheet

A board game path of picture words with all eight early sounds.

What kids practice

These are the first speech sounds most children learn, usually by about age 3: p (as in pig), b (ball), m (moon), t (top), d (dog), n (nose), h (hat) and w (web). They are made with the lips, the tongue tip or a puff of breath. Kindergartners who are still working on them might say d for t, b for p, or leave sounds off the ends of words (ca for cat). Common Core doesn't cover speech sounds, so these sheets have no Common Core code.

Watch for

  • Leaving off the last sound, like ca for cat. Stretch the end of the word together.
  • Mixing up voice on and voice off pairs, like p and b or t and d. Feel the throat buzz.
  • Practicing too fast. Slow, clear tries teach the mouth better than quick ones.
  • 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, as many copies as you need. See the full early sounds p b m t d n h w guide for kindergarten.
