ABOUT THIS WORKSHEET

What your child practices.

Ending-sound manipulation completes the manipulation set (first sound with the unicorn, last sound with the mermaid). Your child says the word, swaps the tail sound, and writes what appears — deep phonemic work in a fairy-tale wrapper.

  • Changing the last sound of a word
  • Writing the new word
  • Contrasting old and new words
  • Careful listening to word endings

On the sheet: Switch the last sound and write the new word.
