Complete the Word

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a spelling activity where students are asked to choose between two vowel combinations, OU and OW, to correctly complete a word. Each incomplete word is accompanied by a picture that represents the word when completed, serving as a visual clue. For instance, there is an image of a pig next to the letters “C__,” where students must decide whether the correct spelling is “COW” or “COU.” The words are placed in a scattered layout across the page, with each pair of OU and OW choices in circles next to the corresponding images.

The worksheet is designed to teach students the different sounds and applications of the vowel combinations OU and OW in English words. It aims to enhance students’ phonics skills by allowing them to discern when to use each spelling pattern based on both visual cues and their knowledge of word sounds. By completing this exercise, students will also be able to expand their vocabulary with the correct spelling of words that contain these vowel combinations. Additionally, this kind of activity encourages the development of critical thinking as students must analyze and choose the appropriate option that completes each word accurately.
