I'll solve this "Ending Sounds" worksheet by identifying the correct ending sound for each picture and explaining my reasoning.
Let me go through each image systematically:
First row:
1.
Cat: The word "cat" ends with the sound /t/, so the correct choice is 't'.
2.
Cow: The word "cow" ends with the sound /w/, so the correct choice is 'w'.
3.
Hamster: The word "hamster" ends with the sound /r/, so the correct choice is 'r'.
Second row:
4.
Bird: The word "bird" ends with the sound /d/, so the correct choice is 'd'.
5.
Frog: The word "frog" ends with the sound /g/, so the correct choice is 'g'.
6.
Lion: The word "lion" ends with the sound /n/, so the correct choice is 'n'.
Third row:
7.
Starfish: The word "starfish" ends with the sound /sh/ (represented by 'sh' in English), but since we only have 'h' and 's', I need to determine which one represents the ending sound better. The 'sh' sound is represented by 's' in many phonics programs for simplicity, or it could be 'h' if considering the final letter. Actually, looking at the options, "starfish" ends with 'h', so the correct choice is 'h'.
8.
Owl: The word "owl" ends with the sound /l/, so the correct choice is 'l'.
9.
Crab: The word "crab" ends with the sound /b/, so the correct choice is 'b'.
Wait, let me reconsider the starfish. The word "starfish" actually ends with the letter 'h', so the correct choice should be 'h'. The 's' would be incorrect as it's not the final letter.
Let me double-check all of them:
- Cat → t ✓
- Cow → w ✓
- Hamster → r ✓
- Bird → d ✓
- Frog → g ✓
- Lion → n ✓
- Starfish → h ✓ (ends with 'h')
- Owl → l ✓
- Crab → b ✓
The solution is complete. I've identified the correct ending sound for each picture based on the spelling and pronunciation of the words.
The correct answers to color are:
- Cat: t
- Cow: w
- Hamster: r
- Bird: d
- Frog: g
- Lion: n
- Starfish: h
- Owl: l
- Crab: b
