The task in the image is to identify and fill in the missing beginning digraphs for each word. A
digraph is a pair of letters that represent a single sound. The focus here is on the digraphs
"sh" and
"th", as indicated at the top of the worksheet.
Step-by-Step Solution:
1.
Row 1:
-
Shower: The picture shows a person taking a shower. The missing letters are "sh".
- Word:
shower
-
Throne: The picture shows a throne. The missing letters are "th".
- Word:
throne
-
Firstly: The picture shows a sleeping child. The missing letters are "fr". However, since the focus is on "sh" and "th", this might be an error or an exception. For now, we'll assume it's not part of the main task.
- Word:
firstly
2.
Row 2:
-
Shell: The picture shows a seashell. The missing letters are "sh".
- Word:
shell
-
Corn: The picture shows an ear of corn. The missing letters are "co". Again, this might be an exception since it doesn't involve "sh" or "th".
- Word:
corn
-
Sheep: The picture shows a sheep. The missing letters are "sh".
- Word:
sheep
3.
Row 3:
-
Think: The picture shows a thinking person. The missing letters are "th".
- Word:
think
-
Shop: The picture shows a shop. The missing letters are "sh".
- Word:
shop
-
Chief: The picture shows a person in uniform (possibly a chief). The missing letters are "ch". This might be an exception since it doesn't involve "sh" or "th".
- Word:
chief
Final Filled-In Words:
-
Row 1: shower, throne, firstly
-
Row 2: shell, corn, sheep
-
Row 3: think, shop, chief
Explanation:
The task focuses on identifying words that begin with the digraphs "sh" and "th". Most of the words fit this pattern, but a few (like "firstly," "corn," and "chief") do not strictly follow the "sh" or "th" rule. These exceptions might be intentional or part of a broader exercise that includes other digraphs or sounds.
Final Answer:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{array}{ccc}
\text{shower} & \text{throne} & \text{firstly} \\
\text{shell} & \text{corn} & \text{sheep} \\
\text{think} & \text{shop} & \text{chief} \\
\end{array}
}
\]
