Trace each word carefully by following the dotted lines.
1. ghost
2. candy
3. mask
4. witch
5. bat
6. spook
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. A witch has 2 cats and gets 1 more. She has 3 cats.
Start with 2 cats and add 1 more cat. 2 + 1 = 3, so the witch has 3 cats.
2. I see 4 bats flying in the night sky.
Bats have wings, so they are the things that fly in the night sky. The word bats fits the picture of 4 flying animals.
3. There are 3 pumpkins and 2 ghosts. That is 5 things.
Put 3 pumpkins together with 2 ghosts and count them all: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. That gives 5 things in all.

Black cats are a classic Halloween animal, and the meow sound tells you the answer is cat.
