Let’s solve this word sort step by step.
We need to look at each picture and think of the word that matches it. Then, we decide if the word starts with “ch-” or ends with “-ch”.
Here are the pictures and their words:
1. Lunchbox + bottle →
lunch
- Does “lunch” start with “ch”? No.
- Does it end with “ch”? Yes! → Put in “Words Ending With -ch”
2. Chain →
chain
- Starts with “ch”? Yes! → Put in “Words Starting With ch-”
3. Chair →
chair
- Starts with “ch”? Yes! → Put in “Words Starting With ch-”
4. Wrench →
wrench
- Ends with “ch”? Yes! → Put in “Words Ending With -ch”
5. Chicken →
chicken
- Starts with “ch”? Yes! → Put in “Words Starting With ch-”
6. Bench →
bench
- Ends with “ch”? Yes! → Put in “Words Ending With -ch”
7. Branch →
branch
- Ends with “ch”? Yes! → Put in “Words Ending With -ch”
8. Girl (maybe “child”?) → Let’s think… The picture shows a girl, but the most common “ch” word for this is
child.
- Starts with “ch”? Yes! → Put in “Words Starting With ch-”
Wait — let’s double-check: Is there another word? Maybe “cheerful”? But that’s not usually taught at this level. “Child” is the best fit.
Now let’s group them:
✔ Words Starting With ch-:
- chain
- chair
- chicken
- child
✔ Words Ending With -ch:
- lunch
- wrench
- bench
- branch
That’s 4 in each column — perfect!
Final Answer:
Words Starting With ch-: chain, chair, chicken, child
Words Ending With -ch: lunch, wrench, bench, branch
