The worksheet titled
"Match the Beginning Sound" asks students to look at each picture, say the name of the object, and then
circle the letter (b or d) that matches the
beginning sound of the word.
Let’s go through each row and analyze whether the circled answers are correct.
---
🔹 Row 1:
-
Picture: A tent (like a small dome-shaped shelter)
- Word:
tent
- Beginning sound:
t
- Choices:
b or
d
-
✘ The circled answer is
d, but neither
b nor
d matches the beginning sound of "tent".
-
✔ Correct answer:
Neither b nor d — this is an error in the worksheet or student response.
-
Picture: A bell
- Word:
bell
- Beginning sound:
b
- Choices:
b or
d
-
✔ The
b is correctly circled.
---
🔹 Row 2:
-
Picture: A balloon
- Word:
balloon
- Beginning sound:
b
-
✔ b is correctly circled.
-
Picture: A door
- Word:
door
- Beginning sound:
d
-
✔ d is correctly circled.
---
🔹 Row 3:
-
Picture: Dice (two dice)
- Word:
dice
- Beginning sound:
d
-
✔ d is correctly circled.
-
Picture: A box
- Word:
box
- Beginning sound:
b
-
✔ b is correctly circled.
---
🔹 Row 4:
-
Picture: A book
- Word:
book
- Beginning sound:
b
-
✔ b is correctly circled.
-
Picture: A drum
- Word:
drum
- Beginning sound:
d
-
✔ d is correctly circled.
---
✔ Summary of Corrections:
Only the
first image (tent) has an issue:
- The word
"tent" starts with
/t/, not
/b/ or
/d/.
- Therefore,
neither b nor d is correct.
- This appears to be a mistake in the worksheet design or in the student's response.
All other answers are
correct:
- Bell → b
✔
- Balloon → b
✔
- Door → d
✔
- Dice → d
✔
- Box → b
✔
- Book → b
✔
- Drum → d

🛠️ Recommendation:
If this is a student worksheet, the teacher should note that the
first item (tent) does
not belong in a "b vs d" matching exercise because it starts with
"t". It may need to be replaced with a word starting with
b or
d, such as
"bag" or
"dog".
Alternatively, if the goal is just to practice
b vs d, then the first picture should be corrected.

✔ Final Answer:
All circled letters are correct EXCEPT the first one (tent), which should not be included in a b/d sound match since it starts with 't'.
