Sound Sense Practice

This worksheet helps students master the difference between “a” and “an” by focusing on the sound of the following word rather than its spelling. Learners read each sentence and choose the correct article, circling their answer based on whether the next word begins with a vowel or consonant sound. The sentences feature tricky examples such as “hour” and “uniform,” encouraging critical listening for pronunciation patterns. This activity promotes sound awareness, precise grammar use, and better sentence comprehension. It serves as excellent reinforcement for learners transitioning from memorization to real-world language application.
