Step 2: Check which words start with the "R" sound

We’re looking for words that begin with the /r/ sound — like "robot", "rain", "rabbit", etc.

Let’s go through each:

1. Robot → Starts with /r/ → ✔
2. Pretzel → Starts with /p/ → ✘
3. Rain (cloud with raindrops) → Starts with /r/ → ✔
4. Magnifying glass → Starts with /m/ → ✘
5. Rainbow → Starts with /r/ → ✔
6. Tape → Starts with /t/ → ✘
7. Rabbit → Starts with /r/ → ✔
8. Radio → Starts with /r/ → ✔
9. Scissors → Starts with /s/ → ✘
10. Triangle → Starts with /t/ → ✘
11. Origami bird → Starts with /o/ → ✘
12. Rose → Starts with /r/ → ✔
13. Ruler → Starts with /r/ → ✔
14. Rocket → Starts with /r/ → ✔
15. Ring → Starts with /r/ → ✔
16. Grapes → Starts with /g/ → ✘
17. Number 8 → "Eight" starts with /e/ → ✘
18. Rooster → Starts with /r/ → ✔
19. Star → Starts with /s/ → ✘
20. Train → Starts with /t/ → ✘
21. Bananas → Starts with /b/ → ✘
22. Rhinoceros → Starts with /r/ → ✔

24. Rattle → Starts with /r/ → ✔

Step 3: List of images to color (begin with "R" sound)

✔ Robot
✔ Rain (cloud with drops)
✔ Rainbow
✔ Rabbit
✔ Radio
✔ Rose
✔ Ruler
✔ Rocket
✔ Ring
✔ Rooster

Final Answer:

Color these images:
- Robot
- Rain (cloud with drops)
- Rainbow
- Rabbit
- Radio
- Rose
- Ruler

Bonus Tip:

This activity helps children learn phonics by identifying the initial consonant sound in words. It reinforces the connection between letters and sounds, especially the /r/ sound.
