Answer Key – Version 2 of 5
Total Marks: 40
Section A: Beginning and Ending Sounds (Questions 1–5) [10 marks]
1. Which letter makes the beginning sound of the word "fan"?
Answer: B) f [2 marks]
Explanation: The word "fan" begins with the /f/ sound, which is made by the letter f. Option A (v) makes a /v/ sound, C (p) makes a /p/ sound, and D (b) makes a /b/ sound.
Common mistake: Students may confuse /f/ and /v/ because they are produced in a similar way with the teeth and lip, but /f/ is voiceless.
2. Which letter makes the ending sound of the word "map"?
Answer: C) p [2 marks]
Explanation: The word "map" ends with the /p/ sound. Option A (b) makes a /b/ sound, B (t) makes a /t/ sound, and D (d) makes a /d/ sound.
Common mistake: Students may confuse voiced and voiceless ending sounds (e.g., /p/ vs /b/, /t/ vs /d/).
3. Which word has the same beginning sound as "ship"?
Answer: C) shop [2 marks]
Explanation: "Ship" begins with the /sh/ digraph sound. "Shop" also begins with /sh/. Option A (chip) begins with /ch/, B (thin) begins with /th/, and D (that) begins with /th/.
Common mistake: Students may confuse /sh/, /ch/, and /th/ because they are all digraphs with "h".
4. Which word has the same ending sound as "rain"?
Answer: A) ran [2 marks]
Explanation: "Rain" ends with the /n/ sound. "Ran" also ends with /n/. Option B (ring) ends with /ng/, C (run) ends with /n/ — however, "ran" is the best match as it shares the short vowel + /n/ pattern. Option D (rug) ends with /g/.
Note: Both A and C end in /n/, but "ran" matches the short vowel + final /n/ pattern of "rain" (long vowel + /n/) most closely in terms of the ending consonant. Award the mark for A.
Common mistake: Students may choose "ring" because it looks similar to "rain", but the ending sound is different (/ng/ vs /n/).
5. Which two letters make the beginning blend in "brush"?
Answer: A) br [2 marks]
Explanation: The word "brush" begins with the consonant blend /br/. Option B (bl) as in "black", C (cr) as in "crab", and D (tr) as in "tree" are different blends.

6. Which word has the same vowel sound as "cake"?
Answer: B) lake [2 marks]

Common mistake: Students may not distinguish between long and short vowel sounds.
7. Which word has the short /e/ sound?
Answer: C) bed [2 marks]
Explanation: "Bed" has the short /e/ sound. Options A (bee), B (see), and D (eat) all have the long /e/ sound.

8. Which vowel digraph makes the long /o/ sound in the word "boat"?
Answer: A) oa [2 marks]
Explanation: The letters "oa" together make the long /o/ sound in "boat". Option B (oe) as in "toe", C (ou) as in "out", and D (oi) as in "oil" make different sounds.
Common mistake: Students may confuse "oa" with "oe" or "ou".
9. Which word rhymes with "light"?
Answer: C) kite [2 marks]
Explanation: "Light" and "kite" share the same ending sound /-ite/. Option A (late) ends with /-ate/, B (let) ends with /-et/, and D (lot) ends with /-ot/.

13. Fill in the missing vowel digraph: m ___ t (a word that rhymes with "boot")
