Sound Detectives: Match the Ending Sound

Detective Dot the puppy needs help hearing the last sound in words. Children listen to each word, tap the picture that ends the same way, sort pictures into two ending-sound baskets, match pairs that end alike, and catch falling pictures that end like hat. Every direction and every answer choice is read aloud, so no reading is needed. Kindergarten and grade 1.

• 11 narrated listening activities: picture choices, a picture sort, a matching game and a falling-picture game
• Every word and direction read aloud
• A score at the end

• Hear and pick out the last sound in a spoken three-letter word
• Find a word that ends with the same sound as a given word
• Sort and match pictures by the sound their words end with
