About this resource

Description

The Ending Sound D T P Worksheet works on the sound at the END of a word, which is the half of phonics that gets least practice. Nine pictures sit in a three by three grid, and under each one the word is printed with its last letter missing. A child says the picture name out loud, listens to the sound the word finishes on, and writes d, t or p in the box to complete it.

Beginning sounds come easily because they are the first thing a child hears. Ending sounds are quieter, they arrive after the vowel has already done the work, and d, t and p are exactly the three that get confused, because all three are short stop sounds made at the front or the tip of the mouth. Giving the child the rest of the word on this Ending Sound D T P Worksheet removes the spelling problem and leaves only the sound, and the letter box makes the answer a single confident mark. This 1st grade ending sounds worksheet suits a phonics group, a literacy centre, or a quick check before a spelling test.

What’s Included

  • Nine full-colour pictures with the word printed underneath, minus its last letter
  • An answer box beside every word stub, all the same size
  • Three words each for d, t and p, with no letter repeated in any row or column
  • A complete answer key with every box filled in
  • A print-ready PDF sized for standard letter paper

Three Reasons This Helps Kids

  • Saying the picture name out loud puts the ending sound in the ear before the pencil moves.
  • The three letters are balanced across the page, so guessing a pattern will not work.
  • Finishing a printed word connects the sound the child hears to the letter that spells it.

Ideas for Teachers and Parents

  • Say each word slowly and stretch it, then stop hard on the final sound.
  • Cover the picture and ask the child to guess the word from the letters alone.
  • Sort the nine finished words into three piles, one for each ending letter.
  • Hunt for three more d, t and p words around the room.
