Let's solve the "Ending Sounds" worksheet step by step.
---
Task:
The goal is to
complete each word by adding the correct ending consonant sound based on the picture. The words are given with their first letters, and you must choose the correct ending letter from the box of options at the bottom.
---
Step 1: Look at the pictures and identify what they represent
1.
First row:
-
Cat – picture of a cat → starts with "ca" → ends with
t
-
Bed – picture of a bed → starts with "be" → ends with
d
-
Horse – picture of a rabbit? Wait — actually, this looks like a
rabbit, not a horse.
But the label says "
ho" — that’s odd. Let's check:
- The picture shows a
rabbit (bunny), which would be "rab" or "bun", but it's labeled "ho" — maybe it's meant to be "hare"? But still, "ho" doesn't fit.
Actually, wait — let's reevaluate.
Looking closely:
- The picture is clearly a
rabbit, but the prompt says "ho". That might be a mistake?
But perhaps the image is supposed to be a
horse? No — it has long ears, short legs, and is hopping — it's a
rabbit.
So if it's a
rabbit, then "ra-b-bit" — but the clue is "ho" — doesn't match.
Hmm — maybe it's
"hop"? Like a rabbit
hopping?
Yes! The word could be
"hop" — the rabbit is jumping/hopping.
So "ho" +
p =
hop → makes sense!
2.
Second row:
-
Mug – picture of a mug with a heart → starts with "mu" → ends with
g
-
Web – picture of a spider web → starts with "we" → ends with
b
-
Can – picture of a can with fruit → starts with "ca" → ends with
n

| Cat | ca |
t |
| Bed | be |
d |
| Rabbit (hopping) | ho |
p |
| Mug | mu |
g |
| Web | we |
b |

🔍 Explanation:
This activity helps children practice
ending consonant sounds by matching pictures to words. They must listen to the ending sound of the word and pick the right letter from the provided choices.
For example:
- "Cat" ends with /t/, so we add
t.
- "Hop" (as in a hopping rabbit) ends with /p/, so we add
p.
Even though the rabbit isn't labeled as "hop", the context suggests the action ("hopping") and the word "ho" leads us to "hop".

✔ Answer Summary:
Fill in the blanks with:
-
t (for cat)
-
d (for bed)
-
p (for hop)
-
g (for mug)
-
b (for web)

n (for can)
And use the letters:
t, d, p, g, b, n — all from the box.
