Find the Ending Sound worksheet for early phonics practice.

Explanation:
We need to find the ending sound of each word shown in the pictures. For each picture, we look at the word it represents, say it out loud, and identify the last sound (the final consonant or consonant blend). Then we choose the correct letter(s) from the three options given under each picture.

Let’s go row by row:

1. Notebook → sounds like *note-book* → ends with k sound
Options: k p l → correct: k

2. Ball → *ball* → ends with l sound
Options: d l k → correct: l

3. Sock → *sock* → ends with k sound
Options: w t k → correct: k

4. Foot → *foot* → ends with t sound
Options: n t p → correct: t

5. Cloud → *cloud* → ends with d sound
Options: d k w → correct: d

6. Lion → *lion* → ends with n sound (we ignore the silent “o” — the word is pronounced /ˈlaɪən/)
Options: k n t → correct: n

7. Cup → *cup* → ends with p sound
Options: k l P → note: uppercase P, but same as p → correct: P

8. Ice cream cone (picture shows an ice cream in a cone) → the word is *cone* → ends with n sound
Options: m w t → wait! None of these is n? Hmm — let’s double-check.
Actually, the picture looks like an ice cream cone, but maybe they mean just "cone" — still ends in n. But options are m, w, t — none match. Let's reconsider: maybe the word is "cream"? No, the image is clearly a cone with ice cream — often called just "cone", but perhaps the intended word is "cup"? No, cup is already used. Wait — look again: the third item in bottom row is a mitten, not ice cream? No — let me re-map carefully.

Wait — better to list all 9 items clearly based on standard interpretation of such worksheets:

Top row:
- Notebook → *book* → ends in k
- Ball → ends in l
- Sock → ends in k

Middle row:
- Foot (or toe?) — picture shows a foot → *foot* → ends in t
- Cloud → *cloud* → ends in d
- Lion → *lion* → ends in n

Bottom row:
- Cup (drink with straw) → *cup* → ends in p
- Ice cream cone → usually referred to as "cone" → ends in n
- Mitten → *mitten* → ends in n

But the options under bottom row are:
- k l P → for cup → P is correct (p)
- m w t → for ice cream → ??? Should be n, but n not listed. Maybe they intend the word "sweet"? No.
Wait — perhaps the ice cream picture is meant to be "treat"? No.

Let me re-express the letters under each:

Grid positions (row, col):
(1,1) notebook → k p l → answer: k
(1,2) ball (beach ball) → d l k → answer: l
(1,3) sock → w t k → answer: k

(2,1) foot → n t p → answer: t
(2,2) cloud → d k w → answer: d
(2,3) lion → k n t → answer: n

(3,1) drink (cup) → k l P → answer: P (i.e., p)
(3,2) ice cream cone: the word is likely "cone", but options are m w t — none is n. However, sometimes kids say “ice cream” and focus on “cream” → ends in m! Yes! *Cream* ends with m. And the picture is a cup with a straw and polka dots — actually, that might be a pop or soda**, but the text says “cup” — hmm.

Wait — look at the letters: bottom middle options are m w t. What common word ending with m, w, or t matches an ice cream cone? The word "sweet" ends with t — but not likely.

Alternative: Maybe the picture is not ice cream cone, but a "hat"? No, it's clearly a cone with swirl.

Hold on — let’s consider phonics convention in early grades:
For “ice cream”, teachers often isolate the last sound of the *main noun*, which is cone → /n/. But since n isn’t an option, maybe it's a trick — or I misidentified the picture.

Let me instead check the *last letters given* in each set — perhaps the correct choice is the one that matches the actual ending letter of the written word (not pronunciation). But the title says “ending sound”, so it's phonemic, not orthographic.

Another idea: The bottom-middle picture may represent "mint"? No.

Wait — look at the options again carefully (as typed):

Row 3:
- First: k l P → for drink → cup → ends with /p/ → choose P
- Second: m w t → for ice cream cone → if we say “cone”, /n/ not present. But if the word is "treat", no. What if it's "swirl"? No.

Let me count the images logically — standard worksheet like this usually has:

1. notebook → k
2. ball → l
3. sock → k
4. foot → t
5. cloud → d
6. lion → n
7. cup → p
8. ice cream → the word used is often "cream", and *cream* ends with /m/! Yes! /kriːm/ → ends with m. So option m is correct.
9. mitten → *mitten* ends with /n/, and options are d k n → so n

Yes! That fits:
- Ice cream → focus on “cream” → ends with m
- Mitten → ends with n

So bottom row:
- cup → P
- ice cream → m
- mitten → n

Now verify all options match:

1. k p l → pick k ✔
2. d l k → pick l ✔
3. w t k → pick k ✔
4. n t p → pick t ✔
5. d k w → pick d ✔
6. k n t → pick n ✔
7. k l P → pick P ✔
8. m w t → pick m ✔
9. d k n → pick n ✔

All make sense.

Final Answer:
k, l, k, t, d, n, P, m, n
