KidZone Learning Letters
Letter G Worksheets

Grade Level:  Kindergarten

The Letter G is an unreliable letter.  It makes the "guh" (hard g - /g/ sound) as in garden or dog or the "juh" (soft g - /j/ sound) as in giraffe.

When combined with the letter "d", a grapheme is formed which sounds like /j/  (as in ledger)

G is part of the 'gh' digraph which can make the /g/ sound as in ghost or the /f/ sound as in cough.

G is part of the 'ng' digraph which can make the hard sound as in finger, the soft sound as in change, or the combined sound (the most common) as in sing.  The difference in these pronunciations is minor, but important (to see why, try pronouncing singer like you would finger).

G is sometimes silent as in gnat or gnaw.

When G is followed by 'e' or 'i' it sometimes has the soft sound /j/ (as in gem or giraffe).

The activities are organized from easiest to most difficult.  Feel free to go only part way through the activities depending on the comfort level of the child!

Although the activities are geared more to the preschool age group, adding one or two less challenging activities when learning the letters can be a welcome break for the kids and can be given as a bonus activity for those who finish their work early.
