Ending Sound Activity: Identify the final sound (n, m, b) for each word based on the picture.

Let’s go step by step.

We are given 9 pictures, each with a word that is missing its ending sound — either n, m, or b.

We need to look at each picture, say the full word out loud (in our head), and then write the correct ending letter: n, m, or b.

---

Let’s go one by one:

1. First row, first picture: A ram (male sheep). The word starts with “ra” → so it’s ram → ends with m

2. First row, second picture: The sun. Starts with “su” → sun → ends with n

3. First row, third picture: A boy looking at his ribs on an X-ray. Word starts with “ri” → rib → ends with b

4. Second row, first picture: A ham (cooked meat). Starts with “ha” → ham → ends with m

5. Second row, second picture: A girl holding ice cream — she looks like a job holder? Wait — actually, this is likely “job” — but wait, the start is “jo”. Hmm… maybe it’s “jog”? No, no jogging here. Actually, think: what word starts with “jo” and ends with n/m/b? Oh! It’s probably “job” — but the picture shows her working — yes! She has a name tag, cash register — she’s doing a job → ends with b

Wait — let me double-check. Is there another possibility? “Jon”? That’s a name. But the picture doesn’t suggest a person named Jon. More likely, it’s “job” — as in employment. Yes.

6. Second row, third picture: Someone running fast — kicking up dust. Starts with “ru” → run → ends with n

7. Third row, first picture: An old lady holding a turkey or chicken — maybe “mom”? Starts with “mo” → mom → ends with m

8. Third row, second picture: A bib (like for babies) with food spilled on it. Starts with “bi” → bib → ends with b

9. Third row, third picture: A pen falling or bouncing? Starts with “pe” → pen → ends with n

Wait — could it be “pem”? No. “Peb”? Like pebble? But it’s clearly a pen. So pen → ends with n

But hold on — the directions say: “Listen to the beginning sound.” That seems odd — because we’re filling in the *ending* sound. Maybe it’s a typo? Probably meant “listen to the whole word” or “say the word”. We’ll ignore that part since it contradicts the title “Ending Sound”.

So let’s list all answers:

Row 1:
- ra__ → ram → m
- su__ → sun → n
- ri__ → rib → b

Row 2:
- ha__ → ham → m
- jo__ → job → b
- ru__ → run → n

Row 3:
- mo__ → mom → m
- bi__ → bib → b
- pe__ → pen → n

Now, let’s verify each:

✔ ram – correct
✔ sun – correct
✔ rib – correct
✔ ham – correct
✔ job – yes, fits the picture (worker)
✔ run – yes, runner
✔ mom – yes, grandmotherly figure holding food
✔ bib – yes, baby bib with stain
✔ pen – yes, writing instrument

All make sense.

Final Answer:
