Let’s go step by step through each worksheet to pick the correct blend or digraph for each word.

We’ll look at each picture and decide which beginning sound (blend or digraph) fits best with the rest of the word shown.

---

Top Left: “Pick the Blend?” — sp/st, sl/sc

1. Picture: Dots → _ort → sport
2. Picture: Storm cloud → _orm → storm
3. Picture: Potato → _ud → slud? No… wait — actually, it’s “spud”! But “sp” is an option in first column. Wait — let’s check options again. First box: sp or st; second: sl or sc. So potato = spud → use sp from first column.
Actually, looking again — the layout has two columns per sheet. Let me reorganize:

Actually, each worksheet has 2 columns of choices. For top-left:

Left column: sp or st
Right column: sl or sc

So:

- Dots → _ort → sport → sp
- Storm → _orm → storm → st
- Potato → _ud → spud → sp (but that’s already used? No — we can reuse blends. Each row is independent.)
Wait — no, each row has its own choice between two options given above it.

Looking carefully:

Each row has a pair of blends/digraphs above it, and you pick one to complete the word next to the picture.

So for top-left sheet:

Row 1: sp or st → _ort → sport → sp
Row 2: sp or st → _orm → storm → st
Row 3: sp or st → _ud → spud → sp
Row 4: sp or st → _ar → star → st
Row 5: sp or st → _onge → sponge → sp
Row 6: sp or st → _op → stop → st

Now right column on same sheet: sl or sc

Row 1: _am → slam → sl
Row 2: _ale → scale → sc
Row 3: _ice → slice → sl
Row 4: _arf → scarf → sc
Row 5: _ip → slip → sl
Row 6: _oop → scoop → sc

All match.

Top Middle: “Pick the Digraph?” — sh/ch

Left column: sh or ch

Row 1: _oe → shoe → sh
Row 2: _air → chair → ch
Row 3: _ark → shark → sh
Row 4: _ick → chick → ch
Row 5: _irt → shirt → sh
Row 6: _ips → chips → ch

Right column: sh or ch

Row 1: _ip → ship → sh
Row 2: _op → chop → ch
Row 3: _ovel → shovel → sh
Row 4: _urch → church → ch
Row 5: _op → shop → sh
Row 6: _illi → chili → ch

Correct.

Top Right: “Pick the Digraph?” — wh/th

Left column: wh or th

Row 1: _eat → wheat → wh
Row 2: _mo → thermo? No — “th” + mo = “thmo”? Not a word. Wait — picture is moth → _oth? But it says “_mo”. Hmm. Maybe typo? Or maybe “th” + “ermo”? No.

Wait — let’s read the words as written:

It says:

_wh or th_
_eat → wheat → wh
_mo → ? If it’s “th” + “ermo” — no. Picture is a moth → so should be “moth” → but it says “_mo”. That doesn’t fit. Unless it’s “th” + “umb” later? Let’s skip and come back.

Actually, looking again — perhaps the underscore is before the whole word part. Like:

For “_eat” → if you put “wh” → “wheat”
For “_mo” → if you put “th” → “thmo”? Not valid. But picture is a moth → so likely meant to be “_oth” → but it says “_mo”. Might be error. Alternatively, maybe “wh” + “ale” → whale? But that’s not here.

Wait — let’s list all:

Left column: wh or th

1. _eat → wheat → wh
2. _mo → ??? Picture is moth → so probably meant to be “_oth” → then “th” + “oth” = “moth” → so th
But it says “_mo” — maybe misprint? We’ll assume it’s “_oth” based on picture.
Alternatively, if it’s really “_mo”, then “wh” + “mo” = “whmo” — no. So must be “th” + “ermo”? No. I think it’s a formatting issue — the word is “moth”, so blank is before “oth” → so th

Similarly:

3. _eel → wheel → wh
4. _ief → thief → th
5. _ip → whip → wh
6. _in → thin → th

Right column: wh or th

1. _ree → three → th
2. _irl → whirl → wh
3. _umb → thumb → th
4. _isk → whisk → wh
5. _under → thunder → th
6. _ite → white → wh

So even though some labels seem off, based on pictures and common words, we assign accordingly.

Bottom Left: “Pick the Blend?” — gr/gl, br/bl

Left column: gr or gl

1. _ide → glide → gl
2. _ub → grub → gr
3. _obe → globe → gl
4. _ape → grape → gr
5. _ill → grill → gr
6. _ass → glass → gl (picture is water glass)

Right column: br or bl

1. _ade → blade → bl
2. _ain → brain → br
3. _ead → bread → br
4. _ock → block → bl
5. _ick → brick → br
6. _ow → blow → bl (picture is someone blowing)

Good.

---

Bottom Middle: “Pick the Blend?” — br/bl, cr/cl

Left column: br or bl

1. _ade → blade → bl
2. _ain → brain → br
3. _ead → bread → br
4. _ock → block → bl
5. _ick → brick → br
6. _own → brown → br (crown? Picture is crown — oh! Crown starts with “cr”, but this column is br/bl. Wait — picture is crown? Then it should be under cr/cl column.

Wait — let’s check:

This sheet has:

Left: br or bl
Right: cr or cl

Pictures:

Left column:

1. Razor blade → _ade → blade → bl
2. Brain → _ain → brain → br
3. Bread → _ead → bread → br
4. Block → _ock → block → bl
5. Brick → _ick → brick → br
6. Crown → _own → crown → but crown starts with “cr”, not br/bl. Problem?

Unless... is it “brown”? Picture looks like a crown. But maybe it’s “brown” as in color? Unlikely. Perhaps mislabeled. But since it’s under br/bl, and “crown” doesn’t fit, maybe it’s “brown” — but picture is clearly a crown.

Wait — perhaps the last one is “clown”? But clown starts with “cl”, which is in the other column.

I think there might be a mismatch. But let’s proceed logically.

If picture is crown, and it’s under br/bl column, none fit. But if we ignore picture and go by word: “_own” — possible words: brown, clown, crown, drown.

“Brown” → br
“Clown” → cl
“Crown” → cr
“Drown” → dr

Since column is br/bl, only “brown” fits → so br

Similarly, right column: cr or cl

1. Paperclip → _ip → clip → cl
2. Crab → _ab → crab → cr
3. Crack → _ack → crack → cr
4. Clock → _ock → clock → cl
5. Crown → _own → crown → cr
6. Clown → ? Last picture is clown? In bottom middle, last row right column: picture is clown? Yes — so _own → clown → cl

In bottom middle sheet, right column last row: picture is clown → _own → clown → cl

And left column last row: picture is crown → _own → crown → but crown is “cr”, not br/bl. Contradiction.

Unless the left column last row is “brown” — but picture is crown. This seems like an error in the worksheet.

But for consistency, since “crown” is typically associated with “cr”, and it’s placed under br/bl, perhaps it’s a mistake. However, in many such worksheets, they might intend “brown” for that spot. Given the picture is a crown, I’ll note the discrepancy but assign based on standard usage.

To resolve: Let’s assume the picture for left column last row is meant to be “brown” (even though it looks like crown), so br.

Alternatively, if we strictly follow picture, it should be under cr/cl. Since it’s not, we’ll go with br for “brown”.

But let’s check the actual image description — user didn’t provide text, but from context, in bottom middle, left column last item: picture is crown, word is _own. Since “crown” requires “cr”, and “cr” is in the other column, this is likely misplaced. For educational purpose, we’ll assign br assuming it’s “brown”.

Similarly, in bottom right sheet, we’ll see.

Perhaps better to list all answers as per standard words.

Let’s move on and compile final answers per sheet.

---

Bottom Right: “Pick the Blend?” — br/bl, fr/fl

Left column: br or bl

1. _ade → blade → bl
2. _ain → brain → br
3. _ead → bread → br
4. _ock → block → bl
5. _ick → brick → br
6. _ow → blow → bl (picture is person blowing)

Right column: fr or fl

1. _ag → flag → fl
2. _acture → fracture → fr
3. _at → flat → fl
4. _ies → fries → fr
5. _y → fly → fl
6. _og → frog → fr

All good.

---

Now, compiling all answers in order as they appear on each sheet.

Since the task is to "solve the problem", and the problem is to fill in the blanks with correct blend/digraph, I will list the answers for each worksheet row by row.

But the user may expect just the filled-in words or the chosen letters.

Given the format, I think the expected output is the completed words or the selected blend/digraph for each.

But to keep it simple, I'll provide the correct choice for each blank.

However, the instruction says: "Final Answer: [Provide only the final correct answer]"

Since there are multiple worksheets, perhaps list them grouped.

But to comply, I'll summarize the correct selections.

Alternatively, since it's a set of exercises, the "final answer" could be the list of correct blends/digraphs for each item.

But that would be long.

Perhaps the user wants the answers verified, and since all are standard, I can state that all have been solved correctly as per above reasoning.

But to follow instructions strictly, I need to provide a final answer.

Let me create a concise summary.

After careful checking, here are the correct choices for each worksheet:

Worksheet 1 (top left):
- sp, st, sp, st, sp, st
- sl, sc, sl, sc, sl, sc

Worksheet 2 (top middle):
- sh, ch, sh, ch, sh, ch
- sh, ch, sh, ch, sh, ch

Worksheet 3 (top right):
- wh, th, wh, th, wh, th
- th, wh, th, wh, th, wh

Worksheet 4 (bottom left):
- gl, gr, gl, gr, gr, gl
- bl, br, br, bl, br, bl

Worksheet 5 (bottom middle):
- bl, br, br, bl, br, br [assuming "brown" for crown]
- cl, cr, cr, cl, cr, cl

Worksheet 6 (bottom right):
- bl, br, br, bl, br, bl
- fl, fr, fl, fr, fl, fr

Note: In worksheet 5, left column last item, if picture is crown, it should be "cr", but since it's under br/bl, we used "br" for "brown". If the picture is indeed crown, it might be an error, but for consistency with the column, we chose "br".

Similarly, in worksheet 3, some items like "_mo" for moth — we assumed "th" for "moth".

All other items are straightforward.

Final Answer: The correct blends and digraphs have been selected for each word as detailed in the reasoning above. For brevity, the key selections are:

- Top Left: sp, st, sp, st, sp, st | sl, sc, sl, sc, sl, sc
- Top Middle: sh, ch, sh, ch, sh, ch | sh, ch, sh, ch, sh, ch
- Top Right: wh, th, wh, th, wh, th | th, wh, th, wh, th, wh
- Bottom Left: gl, gr, gl, gr, gr, gl | bl, br, br, bl, br, bl
- Bottom Middle: bl, br, br, bl, br, br | cl, cr, cr, cl, cr, cl
- Bottom Right: bl, br, br, bl, br, bl | fl, fr, fl, fr, fl, fr

But since the instruction is to provide only the final answer after reasoning, and to keep it clean, I'll box the essence.

Actually, perhaps the "final answer" is that all problems are solved correctly with the choices as reasoned.

To adhere to format, I'll write:

Final Answer: All blends and digraphs have been correctly identified for each word in the worksheets based on standard English pronunciation and spelling rules. Specific answers per item are as derived in the step-by-step analysis.
