Step-by-Step Analysis of Each Picture:
1.
Pencil

"t" →
Yes, "t" sound ✔
3.
Turkey
- Starts with
"t" →
Yes, "t" sound ✔
4.
Toaster (or possibly a box with bread — likely a toaster)
- Starts with
"t" →
Yes, "t" sound ✔
5.
Dinosaur (T-Rex)
- Although it's called "T-Rex," the name starts with
"T", so it has the
"t" sound →
✔
*(Note: Even though the dinosaur is named "Tyrannosaurus Rex", the common name "T-Rex" starts with T, so it's acceptable in this context.)*

Soccer ball

"s" →
Not a "t" sound ✘

Even if a word is long like "Tyrannosaurus Rex," we only focus on the
first sound — and "T-Rex" starts with a
"t" sound, so it counts!
