Worksheet Task: Ending Sounds
The goal is to
identify whether each picture ends with the sound "-ch" or "-sh".
You are given six pictures, and for each, you must choose between:
-
ch (as in "fish", "watch")
-
sh (as in "wish", "brush")
Let’s go through each image one by one, based on common illustrations used in such worksheets:
---
1. Fish
- Picture: A fish
- Word:
fish
- Ending sound:
sh
✔ Answer: sh
> *Explanation:* The word "fish" ends with the /sh/ sound.
---
2. Pitcher (or a tall drink container)
- Picture: Likely a pitcher or a glass with a straw
- Word:
pitcher
- Ending sound:
ch
✔ Answer: ch
> *Explanation:* The word "pitcher" ends with the /ch/ sound.
---
3. Beach
- Picture: A beach scene (sand, palm tree, ocean)
- Word:
beach
- Ending sound:
ch
✔ Answer: ch
> *Explanation:* The word "beach" ends with the /ch/ sound.

4. Girl holding a dish
- Picture: A girl holding a plate or dish
- Word:
dish
- Ending sound:
sh
✔ Answer: sh
> *Explanation:* The word "dish" ends with the /sh/ sound.
---
5. Two children playing
- Picture: Two kids together
- Word:
children or
kids? But likely meant to be
"children"
- Ending sound:
ch (from "children")
✔ Answer: ch
> *Explanation:* Although "children" is pronounced with a soft "ch" sound at the end, the ending is still associated with "-ch". So, we select
ch.

6. Bird (possibly a parrot or small bird)
- Picture: A bird
- Word:
bird → but wait — does it say "bird"? Or could it be
"birch"?
- More likely: This is a
"parrot" or just a bird — but if it's a
"birch" tree? No, that doesn’t fit.
- Wait — perhaps the bird is meant to represent the word
"hatch" or
"latch"? No, that seems unlikely.
Wait — let’s reconsider. A common word for a bird in such contexts is
"robin", but that ends in
"n".
Alternatively, the bird might be associated with the word
"crash"? Not likely.
But here's a possibility: The bird might be a
"finch"?
Yes! A
"finch" is a type of bird and ends in
"-ch".
So:
- Word:
finch
- Ending sound:
ch
✔ Answer: ch
> *Explanation:* "Finch" ends with the /ch/ sound.
