This is a phonics matching exercise. The task is to pair the pictures on the left with the pictures on the right that start with the same sound.
I will go through each picture on the left, identify its name and initial sound, and then find the matching picture on the right.

1.
Fish: Starts with the /f/ sound.

3.

4.
Newspaper: Starts with the /n/ sound.
5.

Matching Pairs:
Now, I will match the items from the left column to the items in the right column based on their initial sounds.
-
Fish (/f/) matches with
Fan (/f/).
-
House (/h/) matches with
Horse (/h/).
-
Pizza (/p/) matches with
Pig (/p/).
-
Newspaper (/n/) matches with
Nose (/n/).
-
Ring (/r/) matches with
Rainbow (/r/).
-
Kite (/k/) matches with
King (/k/).
-
Ball (/b/) does not have a direct match in the right column. The closest might be "Ball" and "Igloo", but they do not share the same initial sound. This appears to be an error or an unmatched item.
-
Jelly (/j/) matches with
Juice (/j/).
-
Iguana (/i/) matches with
Igloo (/i/).
The word "Ball" on the left does not have a corresponding match on the right, as there is no object starting with the /b/ sound. All other items can be paired correctly.

Final Answer:
Here are the correct matches for the pictures that make the same sound at the beginning:
*
Fish matches with
Fan (both start with /f/).
*
House matches with
Horse (both start with /h/).
*
Pizza matches with
Pig (both start with /p/).
*
Newspaper matches with
Nose (both start with /n/).
*
Ring matches with
Rainbow (both start with /r/).
*
Kite matches with
King (both start with /k/).
*
Jelly matches with
Juice (both start with /j/).
*
Iguana matches with
Igloo (both start with /i/).
The picture of the
Ball does not have a matching pair in the right column, as there is no object starting with the /b/ sound.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of same beginning sound worksheet.
