Last Sound Missing Letter worksheet for early learners to practice phonics by identifying the final sound of words.

Let’s go through each picture one by one and figure out what the last sound (letter) should be.

We are given the first two letters of each word, and we need to add the missing last letter based on the picture.

---

Row 1:

1. Picture: A cup with steam → Word starts with “cu” → It’s a cup → Last letter is p
So: cu + p = cup

2. Picture: The sun → Word starts with “sa” → It’s the sun → Last letter is n
So: sa + n = sun

3. Picture: A mug (like for coffee or tea) → Word starts with “mu” → It’s a mug → Last letter is g
So: mu + g = mug

---

Row 2:

4. Picture: A girl jogging → Word starts with “jo” → She is jogging, but the word here is likely just “jog” → Last letter is g
So: jo + g = jog

5. Picture: Kids playing with blocks → Word starts with “ho” → They are building something… maybe “house”? But that doesn’t fit. Wait — look again: it says “ho” and there are kids playing — perhaps “hop”? No, they’re not hopping. Maybe “home”? Not quite. Actually, looking at common CVC words: “hot”? No. Wait — maybe it’s “hob”? No. Let’s think differently.

Actually, this might be “hop” if one kid is jumping? But the image shows them sitting. Hmm.

Wait — another idea: “how”? No. Let’s check standard kindergarten words.

Actually, let’s reconsider: The word is probably “hot”? But no fire or heat shown.

Wait — maybe it’s “hog”? Like a pig? But there’s no pig.

Hold on — perhaps it’s “hop” as in jump? One child looks like she’s mid-jump? Maybe.

But let’s look at the next ones to see pattern.

6. Picture: A pot (cooking pot) → Word starts with “po” → It’s a pot → Last letter is t
So: po + t = pot

Back to #5: If it’s “ho” and kids playing — maybe it’s “home”? But that’s 4 letters. We only have 3 blanks: h o _ → so must be 3-letter word.

Common 3-letter words starting with “ho”: hot, hop, hog, how, hob.

Looking at the image again — one child is standing, one is sitting, toys around. Maybe “hop” isn’t right.

Wait — perhaps it’s “hut”? But that starts with “hu”.

Another thought: Maybe it’s “hoe”? Like gardening tool? But no garden tools visible.

Wait — let’s think phonetically. What word do kids learn that starts with “ho” and matches the picture?

Actually — I think I made a mistake. Look at the image: it says “ho” and there are two children playing with blocks. Maybe it’s “house”? But again, too long.

Wait — perhaps it’s “hot”? But why?

Let me skip and come back.

Row 3:

7. Picture: An airplane → Word starts with “je” → That doesn’t make sense. Airplane is “jet”? Yes! “Jet” starts with “je” → Last letter is t
So: je + t = jet

8. Picture: A girl smiling → Word starts with “zi” → That’s odd. “Zipper”? Too long. “Zigzag”? No. Wait — maybe it’s “zit”? As in pimple? But that’s not nice for a kid worksheet.

Wait — perhaps it’s “zip”? Like zipper? But the picture is a girl.

Another idea: Maybe it’s “zoo”? But starts with “zo”.

Wait — let’s think: “zi” — what 3-letter word? “Zin”? No. “Zit”? Unlikely.

Perhaps it’s a typo? Or maybe it’s “sis”? No.

Wait — maybe it’s “liz”? Like lizard? But no lizard.

Hold on — perhaps it’s “biz”? No.

This is tricky. Let’s look at the last one.

9. Picture: A pen → Word starts with “pe” → It’s a pen → Last letter is n
So: pe + n = pen

Now back to #8: Girl with “zi” — maybe it’s “zip” as in zip up her jacket? But she’s not zipping anything.

Wait — perhaps it’s “zit” — but that’s inappropriate.

Another possibility: In some curricula, they use “zi” for “zinc”? No.

Wait — maybe it’s “zig” as in zigzag? But no zigzag line.

Perhaps it’s a name? Like “Liz” but written as “zi” + “l”? But order is wrong.

Wait — let’s reexamine the whole thing.

Maybe for #5: “ho” + ? — if it’s “hop”, and one child is jumping, then yes.

For #8: “zi” + ? — what if it’s “zip”? And the girl has a zipper on her clothes? Looking at the image — she’s wearing a dress or shirt — maybe it has a zipper? Possible.

In many worksheets, “zip” is used for zipper.

So: zi + p = zip

Similarly, for #5: if one child is hopping, then “hop” — ho + p = hop

That makes sense.

Let’s confirm all:

1. cup → cu + p
2. sun → sa + n
3. mug → mu + g
4. jog → jo + g
5. hop → ho + p
6. pot → po + t
7. jet → je + t
8. zip → zi + p
9. pen → pe + n

All are common 3-letter CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words taught in early reading.

Final Answer:
cup, sun, mug, jog, hop, pot, jet, zip, pen
