Identify W as the first written letter in labels including water gun, winter hat, wall oven, wolf, watermelon, with adult reading support.
Compare the beginning of a complete printed label with the target letter, including labels containing more than one word.
Use the visible spelling to explain a choice and distinguish written-letter matching from listening for a shared speech sound.

Look at a picture, read its label together, and notice the first written letter. This letter W picture-name worksheet presents twelve labeled choices and asks children to circle the ones whose names begin with W. The matching labels are water gun, winter hat, wall oven, wolf, watermelon. An adult can read each name aloud so the child can focus on locating the target letter without needing to read every word independently.
Begin with water gun. Point to its first printed letter and compare it with W in the directions. Then read lasagna and check how that label begins. Move across the grid in a consistent order, circling a picture only after checking its label. A target letter later in the word does not make the name a match; the search concerns the first written letter.
A name can begin with W even when its pronunciation needs a separate explanation. Use the printed first letter as the rule, and discuss sounds in a familiar word as an additional conversation. For a label with more than one word, check the beginning of the complete printed phrase. If your child uses a different everyday name for an illustration, acknowledge it and read the worksheet label together. Agreeing on the wording makes the letter comparison clear and gives an unfamiliar picture name a useful context.
Choose a few labels first and revisit the remaining choices later. Ask your child to point to one matching letter and explain where it appears. Visit the letter W guide for another look at the letter’s forms and name. The Alphabet Starter Pack offers related letter activities. For a short follow-up away from the page, look for W at the beginning of a familiar name or a word in a book.
