Sound Substitution: Change the Last Sound Words
This worksheet practices sound substitution, changing the last sound of each word to make a new word, like pig to pie and cow to cog.
At age 6, changing a final sound supports reading and spelling because sound matches help words “click.” Many parents notice that phonics practice gets rushed or gets stuck on too many parts at once, so the last-sound focus keeps the work manageable.
Pick one row. Say the starting word, have the child repeat it, then swap only the last sound and read the new word together. When the child can say the new word clearly, move to the next row.
The worksheet is useful because it asks for one specific sound change at a time, with clear word targets for quick feedback. This makes shared practice feel doable during busy days, not like a long lesson.
