Answers

Primary 2 English Quiz - Phonics - Answer Key

Total Marks: 30 | Match numbering with the quiz paper.

Answer 1.

A) fan (1 mark) Teaching note: Listen to the FIRST sound only. Fish starts with /f/. Fan also starts with /f/. Wish starts with /w/, dish starts with /d/, ship starts with /sh/. Common mistake: Choosing dish because it looks like fish. Judge by sound, not by how the word looks.

Answer 2.

A) sock (1 mark) Teaching note: Say each word and listen to the LAST sound. Sock ends with /k/. Sun ends with /n/, bed ends with /d/, jam ends with /m/.

Answer 3.

C) stop (1 mark) Teaching note: A blend is two consonant sounds said close together. Stop = /s/ + /t/ + /o/ + /p/. Sat has a single /s

Primary 2 English Quiz - Phonics - Answer Key

Total Marks: 30 | Match numbering with the quiz paper.

Answer 1.

Answer 2.

A) sock (1 mark) Teaching note: Say each word and listen to the LAST sound. Sock ends with /k/. Sun ends with /n/, bed ends with /d/, jam ends with /m/.

Answer 3.

C) stop (1 mark) Teaching note: A blend is two consonant sounds said close together. Stop = /s/ + /t/ + /o/ + /p/. Sat has a single /s/ sound, and top and pot have no /s/ or /t/ blend at the start.

Answer 4.

A) thank (1 mark) Teaching note: Thumb begins with the /th/ digraph sound. Thank also begins with /th/. Sun, mum, and run begin with other single consonant sounds.

Answer 5.

C) 4 (1 mark) Teaching note: Stretch the word slowly: /h/ - /a/ - /n/ - /d/. That is four separate sounds. Common mistake: Counting letters instead of sounds — there are 4 letters here too, but always check by saying the sounds aloud.

Answer 6.

(a) map (1 mark) (b) cat (1 mark) Teaching note: Blend means push the sounds together smoothly: /m/ + /a/ + /p/ → map; /c/ + /a/ + /t/ → cat. Say them fast so they become one word.

Answer 7.

/h/ / /e/ / /n/ (2 marks) Teaching note: Segmenting is breaking a word apart into its sounds. Hen has three sounds because it has three phonemes. Award 1 mark if two of three sounds are correct.

Answer 8.

(a) rabbit → 2 syllables (rab-bit) (1 mark) (b) butterfly → 3 syllables (but-ter-fly) (1 mark) Teaching note: Clap once for each beat as you say the word. Rabbit claps twice; butterfly claps three times.

Answer 9.

(a) cap → cape (1 mark) (b) hop → hope (1 mark) Teaching note: Magic e stays silent but makes the vowel say its name: /a/ in cape says "ay", /o/ in hope says "oh". The spelling changes only by adding e at the end.

Answer 10.

Word: seed Letters: ee (2 marks) Teaching note: Test each word with the /ee/ sound from bee: s-ee-d fits. Sad, sod, and sud have short vowel sounds. The team ee makes one long /ee/ sound. Award 1 mark for the correct word and 1 mark for the correct letters.

Answer 11.

(a) ship → sh (1 mark) (b) ring → ng (1 mark) Teaching note: A digraph is TWO letters making ONE sound. In ship, s and h join to make /sh/. In ring, n and g join to make /ng/.

Answer 12.

(a) chair (1 mark) (b) thumb (1 mark) Teaching note: Read the completed word aloud to check: chair, thumb. Both use a three-letter digraph pattern (ch, th) that makes one sound.

Answer 13.

Ends with /ng/: sing, long, song Ends with /nk/: think, pink, bank (2 marks) Teaching note: Listen carefully to the final blend. /ng/ words end with the n-g digraph; /nk/ words end with three sounds /n/+/k/. Award 1 mark for each column fully correct.

Answer 14.

(a) boat → boat (1 mark) (b) snow → snow (1 mark) Teaching note: Both oa and ow can make the long /o/ sound. Fill in the missing letters, then read the whole word to confirm it makes sense: a boat floats; snow falls.

Answer 15.

Different word: hen Middle sound: /e/ (2 marks) Teaching note: Cat, hat, and map all have the short /a/ vowel in the middle. Hen has the short /e/ sound, so it is different. Award 1 mark for the word and 1 mark for the sound.

Answer 16.

B) make (1 mark) Teaching note: Rhyming words share the same ending sound. Cake and make both end with the long /ay-k/ sound (-ake). Back, kick, and lock have different ending sounds.

Answer 17.

A) star - car (1 mark) Teaching note: Star and car both end with the /ar/ sound. The other pairs do not match their ending sounds.

Answer 18.

X next to: toy (1 mark) Teaching note: Play, day, and say all rhyme with the long /ay/ sound. Toy has the /oy/ sound, so it does not belong.

Answer 19.

New word: bat (1 mark) Teaching note: Keep the rest of the word the same and swap only the first sound: replace /c/ with /b/ → c-at becomes b-at.

Answer 20.

Rhyming words: frog and log (1 mark) Teaching note: Both words end with the /og/ sound. Sat does not rhyme with either. Say the sentence aloud and listen for the matching endings.
