Part 1: Say each picture name. Write the consonant for the beginning sound in each word.

We need to identify the beginning consonant sound of each picture and write it in the blank.

- Answer: t

#### Picture 6: Seal (🦭)

Part 2: The word "sat" has the short a vowel sound. If a picture name has the short a sound, write "a". (One word does not have short a, so leave it blank!)

Now we look at the pictures below and determine if the word has the short a sound (like in "cat", "hat", "mat").

We are given:
- m__t → mat
- b__t → bat
- b__t → bat? Wait — let’s analyze each picture:

#### Picture 1: Mat (🧱 with lines)
- Word: mat
- Does it have short a? Yes — "mat" = /mæt/
- So fill in: a
- Result: m a t

#### Picture 2: Boat (🛶 with oar)
- Word: boat
- Sound: /boʊt/ — This has a long o sound, not short a
- So do not write "a"
- Leave blank

#### Picture 3: Bat (⚾ bat)
- Word: bat
- Sound: /bæt/ — Yes, short a
- Fill in: a
- Result: b a t
