Subject: English | Level: Primary 2 | Topic: Phonics | Version: 1 of 5
Total Marks: 40
Section A: Beginning and Ending Sounds (Questions 1–5)
1. Which letter makes the beginning sound of the word "fan"?
Answer: B) f
Marks: 2
Explanation: The word "fan" starts with the /f/ sound, which is made by the letter f.
Common mistake: Students may confuse /f/ with /v/ because they are similar sounds, but "fan" begins with /f/, not /v/.
2. Which letter makes the ending sound of the word "map"?
Answer: C) p
Marks: 2
Explanation: The word "map" ends with the /p/ sound. The letter p makes this sound.
Common mistake: Students may choose "m" because it appears at the end of the spelling, but the last sound heard is /p/.
3. The word is "sun". Which letter makes the ending sound?
Answer: C) n
Marks: 2
Explanation: The word "sun" ends with the /n/ sound, made by the letter n.
Method: Say the word slowly: /s/ – /u/ – /n/. The last sound is /n/.
4. Which word begins with the same sound as "chair"?
Answer: C) chip
Marks: 2
Explanation: "Chair" begins with the /ch/ sound. "Chip" also begins with the /ch/ sound. "King" and "cat" begin with /k/, and "ring" begins with /r/.
Common mistake: Students may pick "cat" because it also has the letter "c", but "cat" starts with /k/, not /ch/.
5. Which word ends with the same sound as "dog"?
Answer: C) bag
Marks: 2
Explanation: "Dog" ends with the /g/ sound. "Bag" also ends with the /g/ sound. "Got" ends with /t/, "dig" ends with /g/ but is also acceptable — however, "bag" is the clearest match.
Note: Both "dig" and "bag" end in /g/. If a student selects B) dig, award the mark as it also ends with /g/. The intended answer is C) bag.
Marking note: Accept B) dig or C) bag as both end with the /g/ sound.
Section B: Vowel Sounds and Digraphs (Questions 6–14)
6. Which word has the short /a/ sound?
Answer: C) cat
Marks: 2
Explanation: The short /a/ sound is heard in "cat" (/k/–/a/–/t/). "Cake", "rain", and "play" all have the long /a/ sound.
7. Which word has the long /o/ sound?
Answer: C) rope
Marks: 2
Explanation: "Rope" has the long /o/ sound (/r/–/o/–/p/). "Hot", "hop", and "mop" all have the short /o/ sound.
Tip: The long /o/ says its own name, like in "rope" and "home".
8. Which word has the "sh" sound?
Answer: B) ship
Marks: 2
Explanation: "Ship" begins with the /sh/ digraph. "Chip" has /ch/, "skip" has /sk/, and "step" has /st/.
Common mistake: Students may confuse /sh/ and /ch/ because both are two-letter sounds. Remind them: "sh" says /sh/ as in "shh!"
9. Which word has the "ch" sound?
Answer: B) chin
Marks: 2
Explanation: "Chin" begins with the /ch/ sound. "Thin", "sing", and "thing" all begin with /th/ or /s/ sounds.
Common mistake: Students may confuse "ch" with "th". The /ch/ sound is shorter and sharper.
10. Which word has the "th" sound (as in "think")?
Answer: C) three
Marks: 2
Explanation: "Three" begins with the unvoiced /th/ sound (as in "think", "thumb", "thin"). "This", "that", and "the" use the voiced /th/ sound.
Note: Both are "th" sounds, but the question specifies the sound as in "think" (unvoiced).
Marking note: If the syllabus does not distinguish voiced vs. unvoiced /th/, accept any of A, B, C, or D. The intended answer is C) three.
11. Which word has the short /e/ sound?
Answer: C) bed
Marks: 2
Explanation: "Bed" has the short /e/ sound (/b/–/e/–/d/). "See", "tree", and "eat" all have the long /e/ sound.
12. Which word has the long /i/ sound?
Answer: C) kite
Marks: 2
Explanation: "Kite" has the long /i/ sound (/k/–/i/–/t/). "Sit", "bit", and "pin" all have the short /i/ sound.
Tip: The long /i/ says its own name, like in "kite" and "bike".
13. In which word does "oo" make the sound you hear in "book"?
Answer: C) look
Marks: 2
Explanation: In "book" and "look", the "oo" makes the short /ʊ/ sound. In "moon", "food", and "soon", the "oo" makes the long /uː/ sound.
14. Which word has the "ng" sound at the end?
Answer: B) ring
Marks: 2
Explanation: "Ring" ends with the /ŋ/ sound (written as "ng"). "Net" ends with /t/, "run" ends with /n/, and "nap" ends with /p/.
Common mistake: Students may confuse /n/ and /ng/. The /ng/ sound is felt more in the back of the throat.
Section C: Blending, Segmenting and Rhyming (Questions 15–20)
15. Blend these sounds: /c/ – /a/ – /t/. Write the word.
Answer: cat
Marks: 2
Method: Say each sound slowly: /c/…/a/…/t/. Now say them faster: "cat". The sounds blend to form the word cat.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for "cat". Award 1 mark if the student writes a phonetically plausible attempt (e.g., "kat").
16. Blend these sounds: /sh/ – /i/ – /p/. Write the word.
Answer: ship
Marks: 2
Method: Say each sound: /sh/…/i/…/p/. Blend them together: "ship".
Marking note: Award 2 marks for "ship". Award 1 mark for a plausible attempt (e.g., "sip" — missing the /sh/).
17. How many sounds (phonemes) are in the word "frog"?
Answer: 4
Marks: 2
Method: Break the word into individual sounds: /f/ – /r/ – /o/ – /g/ = 4 sounds.
Common mistake: Students may say 4 letters = 4 sounds (correct here), but in other words, digraphs like "sh" count as one sound even though they use two letters.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for "4". Award 0 for any other number.
18. Which word rhymes with "rain"?
Answer: B) train
Marks: 2
Explanation: "Rain" and "train" share the same ending sound /-ain/. "Run", "red", and "ring" do not rhyme with "rain".
Method: Rhyming words have the same ending sound from the vowel onwards: r-ain and tr-ain.
19. Which word rhymes with "light"?
Answer: C) kite
Marks: 2
Explanation: "Light" and "kite" share the same ending sound /-ite/ (long /i/ + /t/). "Let", "lit", and "lot" have short vowel sounds and do not rhyme.
Method: Say "light" and "kite" aloud. The endings sound the same: l-ight and k-ite.
20. Read the word: "star". Change the first sound to /f/. Write the new word.
Answer: far
Marks: 2
Method:
Step 1: Identify the first sound in "star" → /st/.
Step 2: Replace /st/ with /f/.
Step 3: Blend /f/ + /ar/ → far.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for "far". Award 1 mark if the student writes "tar" (changed only /s/ to /f/ but kept the blend incomplete) — partial credit for understanding the concept.
