Answers

Answer Key – Version 2 of 5 (Phonics)
Section A: Letter Sounds and Beginning Sounds (8 marks)
1. Which letter makes the sound /b/?
Answer: C) b
Marks: 1
Explanation: The letter 'b' makes the /b/ sound as in "ball" or "bat." Common confusion: students may mix up 'b' and 'd' or 'p' and 'q' because they look similar.
2. What sound does the word dog begin with?
Answer: B) /d/
Marks: 1
Explanation: The word "dog" starts with the /d/ sound. Students should listen for the first sound, not the first letter name.
3. Which letter makes the sound /s/?
Answer: C) s
Marks: 1
Explanation: The letter 's' makes the /s/ sound as in "sun" or "sit." Note: 'c' can also make an /s/ sound (as in "city"), but at P1 level, the expected answer is 's'.
4. What sound does the word sun begin with?
Answer: C) /s/
Marks: 1
Explanation: "Sun" begins with the /s/ sound. Students may confuse the beginning sound with the middle or ending sound.
5. ____at (a small furry animal that says "meow")
Answer: c
Marks: 1
Explanation: The word is "cat" (c-a-t). The picture clue helps students identify the word, and they must supply the beginning letter 'c'. Accept only lowercase 'c'.
6. ____en (a bird that lays eggs)
Answer: h
Marks: 1
Explanation: The word is "hen" (h-e-n). Students need to identify the beginning sound /h/ and write the letter 'h'.
7. ____ig (a pink farm animal)
Answer: p
Marks: 1
Explanation: The word is "pig" (p-i-g). The beginning sound is /p/, so the letter 'p' is correct.
8. ____op (a shop where you buy bread)
Answer: s (or t – see note below)
Marks: 1
Explanation: The expected word is "shop" (s-h-o-p). However, since the clue says "a shop where you buy bread," the word could also be interpreted as "top" or "stop." The most phonics-aligned answer for a CVC pattern is s (making "shop").
Marking note: Accept s as the primary answer. If a student writes 't', do not award the mark as "top" does not match the clue of a bread shop. The intended word is "shop" and the beginning letter is 's'.
Correction for clarity: The answer is s (shop).
Section B: Middle Sounds and Rhyming Words (14 marks)
9. Which word has the same middle sound as hat?
Answer: C) cat
Marks: 2
Explanation: "Hat" has the middle sound /æ/ (short a). "Cat" also has the middle sound /æ/. "Hot" has /ɒ/, "hit" has /ɪ/, and "hut" has /ʌ/. Students must identify the vowel sound in the middle of the word.
10. Which word rhymes with pen?
Answer: B) ten
Marks: 2
Explanation: "Pen" and "ten" rhyme because they share the same ending sound /-en/. "Pin" ends in /-in/, "pan" ends in /-an/, and "pun" ends in /-un/.
11. What is the middle sound in the word big?
Answer: C) /i/
Marks: 2
Explanation: The word "big" is spelled b-i-g. The middle sound is the short vowel /i/. Students often confuse the middle sound with the beginning or ending consonant.
12. c___t (a small animal that purrs)
Answer: a
Marks: 2
Explanation: The word is "cat" (c-a-t). The missing middle letter is 'a', which makes the short /æ/ sound.
13. r___t (a small animal that likes cheese)
Answer: a
Marks: 2
Explanation: The word is "rat" (r-a-t). The missing middle letter is 'a'. Note: "rat" is the CVC word; students should not write 'e' (ret) or 'u' (rut).
14. b___g (something you carry your books in)
Answer: a
Marks: 2
Explanation: The word is "bag" (b-a-g). The missing middle letter is 'a'. Students may confuse this with "beg" or "big," but the clue (carrying books) points to "bag."
15. h___n (a bird that says "cluck cluck")
Answer: e
Marks: 2
Explanation: The word is "hen" (h-e-n). The missing middle letter is 'e', making the short /ɛ/ sound.
Section C: Word Building and Picture-Word Matching (18 marks)
16. ___ ___ ___ (a round, red fruit that grows on a tree)
Answer: a-p-p-l-e → apple
Correction: This is a 5-letter word, which exceeds the 3 blanks provided.
Revised expected answer: The clue should yield a CVC word. Adjusting: the intended word is apple, but since only 3 blanks are given, this question should be revised.
For this version, accept: apple written across the blanks (students may squeeze letters).
Marks: 2
Marking note: Award 2 marks for "apple" spelled correctly. If the blanks are strictly 3, this question has a design flaw. For future versions, use a CVC word clue such as "a round, red fruit" → not CVC. Recommended revision: Change clue to "a fruit that is red" and accept "apple" with adjusted blanks.
For marking purposes: Accept a p p (first 3 letters) for 1 mark, or apple written out for 2 marks.
Design note for next version: Replace with a CVC word clue to match the 3-blank format.
17. ___ ___ ___ (you use this to write on paper)
Answer: p-e-n → pen
Marks: 2
Explanation: The word is "pen" (p-e-n). Students fill in p, e, n. All three letters must be correct for 2 marks. Award 1 mark if 2 out of 3 letters are correct.
18. ___ ___ ___ (a large animal with a long trunk)
Answer: Not a CVC word ("elephant" is too long).
Revised expected answer: The intended simple word could be elk or another animal, but "elephant" does not fit 3 blanks.
For this version, accept: e l e (first 3 letters of elephant) for partial credit.
Marks: 2
Marking note: This question has a design flaw. The clue "large animal with a long trunk" suggests "elephant," which is not a CVC word. For future versions, replace the clue with a CVC animal such as "a large animal that says 'moo'" → cow (c-o-w).
For marking purposes: Accept c o w (if the clue is revised to "animal that says moo") for 2 marks. With the current clue, accept e l e for 1 mark.
Design note for next version: Change clue to "a farm animal that says 'moo'" and answer cow.
19. Picture-Word Matching (5 marks – 1 mark each)
| Picture Clue | Answer | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (a) | 🐟 (a fish) | B) fin | A fin is part of a fish. "Fan," "fun," and "fen" do not match. |
| (b) | 🪣 (a bucket) | None perfectly – see note | The options are bug, bag, big, beg. None means "bucket." The closest phonics match is B) bag, but it does not match the clue. Design flaw noted. Accept B) bag for 1 mark as the best available option. |
| (c) | 🧢 (a cap) | A) cap | "Cap" matches the picture of a hat/cap. "Cup," "cop," and "kep" do not match. |
| (d) | 🐶 (a puppy) | C) dog | "Dog" matches the picture of a puppy. "Dag," "dig," and "dug" do not match. |
| (e) | 🛏️ (a bed) | B) bed | "Bed" matches the picture. "Bid," "bad," and "bud" do not match. |
Marking note for 19(b): The clue "bucket" does not have a matching option. This is a design flaw. For future versions, change the clue to "something you carry things in" (answer: bag) or add "bucket" as an option. Award 1 mark for B) bag as the best available answer.
20. Circle the correct word (5 marks – 1 mark each)
| Picture Clue | Correct Answer | Explanation | |
|---|---|---|---|
| (a) | 🌞 (the sun) | sun | "Sun" is the correct spelling. "Son" sounds the same but means a child. "Sin" is a different word. |
| (b) | 🐱 (a cat) | cat | "Cat" is the correct spelling. "Cot" is a small bed. "Cut" means to slice. |
| (c) | 🐔 (a hen) | hen | "Hen" is the correct spelling. "Hin" and "han" are not real words. |
| (d) | 🚌 (a bus) | bus | "Bus" is the correct spelling. "Bas" and "bos" are not standard English words. |
| (e) | 🐷 (a pig) | pig | "Pig" is the correct spelling. "Pag" and "peg" are different words. |

Common Mistakes to Watch For
- Letter reversal: Students commonly confuse 'b' and 'd', or 'p' and 'q'. Encourage careful letter formation.
- Letter name vs. sound: Some students say the letter name (e.g., "bee") instead of the sound (/b/). Remind them to listen for the sound.
- Vowel confusion: Short vowel sounds (/æ/, /ɛ/, /ɪ/, /ɒ/, /ʌ/) are often mixed up. Practice with word families (e.g., -at, -en, -ig, -op, -ug).
- Rhyming vs. beginning sound: Students may focus on the beginning sound when asked about rhymes. Emphasize that rhyming words share the same ending sound.
- Spelling patterns: Students may write the correct sounds but in the wrong order. Encourage sounding out each word slowly from left to right.
