Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. wig
2. sob
3. yak
4. dip
5. cob
6. hem
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. The baby wore a wig on her head.
The missing vowel is 'a' because d-a-b spells dab. The short /a/ sound goes between the d and the b.
2. The corn has a cob in the middle.
The missing vowel is 'e' because v-e-t spells vet. The short /e/ sound goes between the v and the t.
3. I will dip my chip in the dip.
The missing vowel is 'o' because c-o-b spells cob. The short /o/ sound goes between the c and the b.
4. Mom had to hem the skirt to fix it.
The missing vowel is 'a' because y-a-m spells yam. The short /a/ sound goes between the y and the m.
Part C: True or False?
Read each statement. Circle True or False.
1. The word wig has three letters.
True False
True. The word hub has the short /u/ sound in the middle: h-u-b. The letter u makes its short sound.
2. The word yak starts with the sound /m/.
True False
False. Rim does not rhyme with ram. Rim has the /i/ sound and ram has the /a/ sound. Rim rhymes with him and dim.
3. The word sob ends with the sound /b/.
True False
True. Vet has three letters: v is a consonant, e is a vowel, and t is a consonant. That makes it a CVC word.
