Color the Pictures That End With G

Begin with a shared reading or oral warm-up that highlights ending consonants so students hear and see the skill in context before practicing it independently. Have students work through it with your modeling first (do the first item together on the board), then try the rest with a partner, especially for phonics-based tasks where saying an answer aloud first helps. After completing the worksheet, use one or two examples from the page to start a discussion: "Where else have you seen this in your reading?" These ending consonants worksheets are ideal for use during small group reading time, as independent center work, or as a homework activity.

Trace g, then color the pictures whose names end with the g sound, like pig, bag, flag and frog. The directions on the page read: An adult says each picture name aloud with the student. Trace the letter g. Then, color each picture whose name ends with the g sound. An answer key is included.

Yes, both. We made it for Kindergarten consonants, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with ending consonants. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.

These worksheets develop phonemic awareness - specifically the ability to segment and identify the final sound in a spoken word. They also reinforce letter-sound correspondence, helping children connect the sound they hear at the end of a word to the correct letter. Both skills are foundational for reading and spelling development.

Most phonics programs introduce beginning sounds first, followed by ending consonants, and then medial vowel sounds. Children usually encounter ending consonant instruction in the middle of kindergarten, though the exact timing varies by curriculum and student readiness. The goal is for students to fully encode (hear every part of) simple CVC words by the end of kindergarten.

In the classroom, these worksheets are effective as a follow-up to a phonics lesson or as a literacy center activity. At home, parents can turn the activity into a game by saying a word, asking the child to repeat just the last sound, and then completing the worksheet together. Using magnetic letters or letter tiles alongside the worksheet can deepen the learning.

Ending consonant practice aligns with CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RF.K.3, which covers applying phonics and word analysis skills in decoding, as well as RF.K.2, which addresses phonological awareness including isolating and pronouncing the initial, medial, and final sounds in words.

The most common sound for each consonant letter, such as the b in ball and the m in moon (CCSS RF.K.3.A). Children hear the sound at the start of a word first, then at the end, as in the t of cat. Blends like bl and digraphs like sh come later in the year.

Say a picture name slowly and stretch the last sound, as in hat, then ask which letter makes it. The ending consonants pages have children circle t, g or n for the last sound, color the pictures that end with p, and match web with crab because both end with b.

A blend is two consonants whose sounds you still hear, like bl in block. A digraph is two letters that make one new sound, like sh in ship. The blend pages circle bl, cl and fl pictures and trace L and R blend words, and the digraph pages read, circle and trace ch, sh, th and wh words.

50 sheets: ending consonants, beginning consonants, consonant blends, digraphs and pages that pick the consonants out of a word. 40 of the 50 sheets have an answer key.
