Let’s go step by step to match each letter with the picture that starts with the same sound.
---
Row 1: Letter “k”
- Say the sound: /k/ (like “kuh”)
- Look at the pictures:
- Ant → starts with /a/
- Keys → starts with /k/
✔
→ Circle
keys
---
Row 2: Letter “l”
- Say the sound: /l/ (like “luh”)
- Pictures:
- Light bulb → starts with /l/
✔
- Glue bottle → starts with /g/
→ Circle
light bulb
---
Row 3: Letter “m”
- Say the sound: /m/ (like “muh”)
- Pictures:
- Owl → starts with /o/
- Man in sombrero → “man” starts with /m/
✔
→ Circle
man
*(Note: Even though it’s a man wearing a hat, we care about the word “man” — which begins with M.)*
---
Row 4: Letter “n”
- Say the sound: /n/ (like “nuh”)
- Pictures:
- Number 9 → “nine” starts with /n/
✔
- Sun → starts with /s/
→ Circle
number 9
---
Row 5: Letter “o”
- Say the sound: /o/ (short o like “ah” or long o like “oh” — here it’s likely short o as in “octopus”)
- Pictures:
- Jam jar → “jam” starts with /j/, but if you think of “strawberry jam”, still not O. Wait — actually, look again: The label has a strawberry, but the container is often called “jar” — no. Let’s check the other one.
- Octopus → starts with /o/
✔
→ Circle
octopus
*(Even though “jam” might be tempting, “octopus” clearly starts with O. Also, “jar” doesn’t start with O. So octopus is correct.)*
---
✔ All matches checked and verified.
Final Answer:
Circle these pictures:
- Row 1: keys
- Row 2: light bulb
- Row 3: man
- Row 4: number 9
- Row 5: octopus
