Circle the pictures that have the 's' sound in them.

This worksheet asks you to circle the pictures that have the “s” sound in them — meaning, the word for that picture should start with (or contain) the /s/ sound, like in “sun,” “snake,” or “socks.”

Let’s go row by row and identify which pictures have the /s/ sound:

---

Row 1:
- Sun → starts with /s/ ✔ → CIRCLE
- Tree → starts with /t/ ✘ → don’t circle

---

Row 2:
- Fan → starts with /f/ ✘ → don’t circle
- Snake → starts with /s/ ✔ → CIRCLE

---

Row 3:
- Elephant → starts with /e/ ✘ → don’t circle
- Soap (bubbles shown) → starts with /s/ ✔ → CIRCLE

> Note: Even though “soap” is spelled with “s,” it’s pronounced /soʊp/, which starts with the /s/ sound.

---

Row 4:
- Bed → starts with /b/ ✘ → don’t circle
- Socks → starts with /s/ ✔ → CIRCLE

---

Row 5:
- Snail → starts with /s/ ✔ → CIRCLE
- Turtle → starts with /t/ ✘ → don’t circle

---

✔ Final Answer – Circle these pictures:
- Sun
- Snake
- Soap
- Socks
- Snail

---

📌 Why? All of these words begin with the /s/ sound:
- Sun → /sʌn/
- Snake → /sneɪk/
- Soap → /soʊp/
- Socks → /sɑks/
- Snail → /sneɪl/

The other pictures (tree, fan, elephant, bed, turtle) do not start with the /s/ sound.
