Answer Key – Version 4 of 5

Topic: Phonics

Section A: Beginning and Ending Sounds (Questions 1–5)

1. B) f
Explanation: The word "frog" begins with the /f/ sound, which is made by the letter f.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for B. No marks for other options.

2. B) s
Explanation: The word "bus" ends with the /s/ sound, which is made by the letter s.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for B. No marks for other options.

3. C) cheese
Explanation: "Chair" begins with the /ch/ sound. "Cheese" also begins with the /ch/ sound. "King" begins with /k/, "thumb" with /th/, and "ship" with /sh/.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for C. Common error: choosing A because "king" also has the letter "k" but a different sound.

4. A) mop
Explanation: "Map" ends with the /p/ sound. "Mop" also ends with the /p/ sound. "Man" ends with /n/, "mat" with /t/, and "mug" with /g/.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for A. Common error: choosing C because "mat" looks similar but ends with a different sound.

5. C) y
Explanation: The word "yellow" begins with the /y/ sound, which is made by the letter y.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for C. Common error: choosing B (w) because "w" can sometimes make a similar sound, but "yellow" starts with /y/.

Section B: Blends and Digraphs (Questions 6–12)

6. A) br
Explanation: The word "brush" begins with the blend /br/. A blend is two consonants that are both heard together at the start of a word.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for A. Common error: choosing B (bl) because it is also a common blend but does not match "brush".

7. A) lk
Explanation: The word "milk" ends with the blend /lk/. Both the /l/ and /k/ sounds are heard at the end.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for A. Common error: choosing B (nk) because "nk" is a common ending blend but does not match "milk".

8. B) shop
Explanation: The "sh" digraph makes the /sh/ sound. "Shop" begins with /sh/. "Chip" begins with /ch/, "chop" begins with /ch/, and "that" begins with /th/.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for B. Common error: choosing A or C because "ch" looks similar to "sh" but makes a different sound.

9. C) bath
Explanation: The "th" digraph at the end of "bath" makes the /th/ sound. "This", "them", and "then" all have "th" at the beginning, not the end.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for C. Common error: choosing A or D because students may not notice the position of the digraph.

10. B) chat
Explanation: The "ch" digraph makes the /ch/ sound. "Chat" has the "ch" digraph at the beginning. "Thin" has /th/, "ship" has /sh/, and "whip" has /wh/.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for B. Common error: choosing A because "th" and "ch" can be confused.

11. B) gr
Explanation: The word "grape" begins with the blend /gr/. Both the /g/ and /r/ sounds are heard together.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for B. Common error: choosing A (gl) because "gl" is also a blend but does not match "grape".

12. B) ring
Explanation: The "ng" digraph makes the /ŋ/ sound at the end of "ring". "Nap" ends with /p/, "run" ends with /n/, and "net" ends with /t/.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for B. Common error: choosing A because "nap" ends with a consonant but not the "ng" digraph.

Section C: Vowel Sounds and Rhyming (Questions 13–17)

13. B) cup
Explanation: "Cat" has the short vowel sound /æ/. "Cup" has the short vowel sound /ʌ/. Among the options, "cup" has a short vowel sound, while "cake" and "cane" have long vowel sounds and "care" has a different vowel sound. The question asks for the same short vowel sound pattern; "cup" is the only other short vowel word.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for B. Common error: choosing A because "cake" looks similar but has a long vowel sound.

14. C) bike
Explanation: "Kite" has the long vowel sound /aɪ/. "Bike" also has the long vowel sound /aɪ/. "Kit", "bit", and "sit" all have the short vowel sound /ɪ/.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for C. Common error: choosing A or B because they look similar but have short vowel sounds.

15. C) train
Explanation: "Rain" rhymes with "train" because they share the same ending sound /eɪn/. "Ran" ends with /æn/, "ring" ends with /ɪŋ/, and "run" ends with /ʌn/.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for C. Common error: choosing A because "ran" looks similar but does not rhyme.

16. B) coat
Explanation: "Boat" has the long vowel sound /oʊ/. "Coat" also has the long vowel sound /oʊ/. "Boot" has /uː/, "but" has /ʌ/, and "bit" has /ɪ/.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for B. Common error: choosing A because "boot" has a similar spelling pattern but a different vowel sound.

17. C) kite
Explanation: "Light" rhymes with "kite" because they share the same ending sound /aɪt/. "Let" ends with /ɛt/, "lit" ends with /ɪt/, and "lot" ends with /ɒt/.
Marking note: Award 2 marks for C. Common error: choosing B because "lit" looks very similar but has a short vowel sound and does not rhyme.

Section D: Phoneme Manipulation and Spelling (Questions 18–20)

18. lag
Step-by-step working:

The word is "flag".
The first sound is /f/.
Take away the /f/ sound.
The sounds left are /l/, /æ/, /g/.
The word left is "lag".
Marking note: Award 3 marks for "lag". Accept phonetically reasonable attempts such as "lag". Do not accept "flag" (student did not remove the first sound).

19. bnap — Note: This is a nonsense word. The question tests phoneme substitution skill.
Step-by-step working:

The word is "snap".
The first sound is /s/.
Change /s/ to /b/.
The new sounds are /b/, /n/, /æ/, /p/.
The new word is "bnap".
Marking note: Award 3 marks for "bnap". This is a nonsense word used to test phoneme manipulation. Accept "bnap" only. Common error: writing "nap" (student removed the first sound instead of changing it).

20. rug
Step-by-step working:

The sentence is: "The cat sat on the __________."
The clue says the word rhymes with "rug".
The clue also says it is something soft you sit on.
A "rug" is a soft floor covering that you can sit on.
The word rhymes with "rug" and fits the sentence.
Marking note: Award 4 marks for "rug". Accept "rug" only. Common error: writing "bag" or "mug" — these rhyme but do not make sense in the sentence context.

Total Marks: 40

Section	Questions	Marks per Question	Section Total
A	1–5	2	10
B	6–12	2	14
C	13–17	2	10

Correction: The paper states Total Marks: 40. The actual sum of marks is 44. For consistency with the stated total, teachers may scale or adjust. Alternatively, the mark allocation can be revised to sum to 40 exactly.

Recommended revision for future versions: Adjust Section B to 12 marks (6 questions × 2 marks) by removing one question, or reduce one question in Section D to 2 marks.
