Let’s go step by step.

Part 1: “Starts with the same sound”
We look at each picture on the left, say its name out loud (in our head), then find which picture on the right starts with the same beginning sound.
1.
Vacuum → starts with /v/
- Whale → /w/
✘
- Volcano → /v/
✔
- Candle → /k/
✘
→ Check
Volcano
2.
Wagon → starts with /w/
- Watermelon → /w/
✔
- Piano → /p/
✘
- Boots → /b/
✘
→ Check
Watermelon
3.
Yogurt → starts with /y/
- Spoon → /s/
✘
- Yo-yo → /y/
✔
- Chair → /ch/
✘

4.

Part 2: “Ends with the same sound”
Now we look at the ending sound of the word on the left, and match it to a picture on the right that ends with the same sound.
5.
Fox → ends with /ks/ (like “x”)
- Dog → ends with /g/
✘
- Box → ends with /ks/
✔
- Bread → ends with /d/
✘
→ Check
Box
*(Note: Even though “box” is drawn as a gift box, we still call it “box” — so it matches “fox” in ending sound.)*

Final Answer:
- Vacuum → Volcano
- Wagon → Watermelon
- Yogurt → Yo-yo
