Starts With I, G, Q

This Starts With I, G, Q worksheet is designed to help Preschool, Kindergarten, and early Grade 1 students strengthen phonemic awareness, letter-sound recognition, and early reading readiness. Students look at each target letter-I, G, and Q-and circle the picture in each row that begins with the correct sound (such as igloo, grapes, queen, quilt). The clear visual layout supports careful listening, sound discrimination, and confident phonics practice.
