Match the words with the pictures in the "ed" word family worksheet.

Let’s go step by step to match each picture with the correct word from the “ed” word family.

We have these words on the right:
- Ted
- bed
- red
- led
- wed
- fed

And we have 6 pictures on the left. Let’s look at each one and think about what it shows.

---

Picture 1: A simple drawing of a bed (you sleep on it).
→ That matches bed

Picture 2: Two people holding hands with a heart above them — looks like a wedding or couple getting married.
→ That matches wed (short for wedding)

Picture 3: A light bulb that is glowing — this is an LED light, or just “led” as in past tense of lead? But here, since it’s a light, it’s likely referring to led as in the light-emitting diode. In early phonics, they often use “led” for the light.
→ So, led

Wait — actually, let’s double-check. Sometimes “red” is shown with a red object, but this is gray. Hmm. Maybe it’s not color-related. The glow suggests “led” as in the light. Yes.

Picture 4: A boy pointing or leading someone — he’s in front, guiding others. That’s “leading”, so past tense = led? Wait — now I’m confused.

Hold on — let’s reassign carefully.

Actually, Picture 3: glowing bell-shaped thing — could be a lamp or light → led (as in LED light)

Picture 4: boy walking ahead, maybe leading a group → also led? But we can’t use “led” twice.

Wait — perhaps Picture 3 is meant to be red? But it’s drawn in gray. Unless it’s implying the color red even though it’s not colored? Unlikely.

Alternative idea: Maybe Picture 3 is a “bell” that rings — no, doesn’t fit any word.

Let’s try matching based on common phonics worksheets.

Standard matches for “ed” family:

- Bed → bed ✔
- Wed → two people marrying ✔
- Led → someone leading (Picture 4) ✔
- Fed → feeding animals (last picture) ✔
- Red → usually a red apple or something red — but here, Picture 3 is a glowing light… unless it’s a trick?

Wait — last picture: girl feeding birds or chickens → that’s fed

Then Picture 5: three stick figures marching, one carrying a flag — that looks like a parade or procession. Could be “led” if the front person is leading? Or maybe “Ted”? No.

Picture 6: girl feeding birds → definitely fed

Now, who is “Ted”? Probably a name — so one of the characters might be named Ted.

Look at Picture 4: a boy smiling and pointing — maybe his name is Ted? That makes sense.

So:

Picture 1: bed → bed

Picture 2: couple → wed

Picture 3: glowing light → led (LED light)

Picture 4: boy → Ted (name)

Picture 5: group marching → could be “led” if being led, but we already used “led”? Wait — no, we haven’t assigned “led” yet if Picture 3 is something else.

Alternative approach: Let’s list all pictures and assign logically.

Picture 1: Bed → bed

Picture 2: Wedding → wed

Picture 3: Light bulb / lamp → commonly used for led in phonics (even if not accurate technically, kids learn “led” as in the light)

Picture 4: Boy pointing — if he’s named Ted, then Ted

Picture 5: Three people walking, one with flag — this could represent “led” as in “they were led by the flag bearer” — but that’s stretchy.

Wait — another thought: “red” — is there anything red? All drawings are black and white. So probably not color-based.

Perhaps Picture 3 is meant to be “red” because sometimes bells are painted red? Not convincing.

Let me check standard “ed” word family worksheets online mentally.

Common pairings:

- bed → bed
- wed → wedding
- led → light or leading
- fed → feeding
- red → red object (but none here)
- Ted → person’s name

In this worksheet, since all images are line art, “red” must be represented symbolically.

Wait — Picture 3: it’s a bell shape with rays — like a ringing bell. Does “bell” relate to any “ed” word? No.

Unless... “led” as in past tense of “lead” — and Picture 5 is people being led in a march.

That makes more sense!

So:

Picture 1: bed → bed

Picture 2: wedding → wed

Picture 3: ??? Still stuck.

Another idea: Maybe Picture 3 is “red” because in some contexts, emergency lights or sirens are red — but again, not colored.

Perhaps the worksheet intends:

Picture 3: glowing light = led (accepting it as LED)

Picture 4: boy = Ted

Picture 5: group marching = led (being led)

But then we have two “led”? No, only one “led” in the word list.

Words available: Ted, bed, red, led, wed, fed — six words, six pictures.

So each used once.

Let’s assign:

1. Bed → bed ✔

2. Couple → wed ✔

3. Glowing light → led ✔ (common in such worksheets)

4. Boy → Ted ✔ (personal name)

5. Marching group → ? Only “red” left? Doesn’t fit.

6. Feeding birds → fed ✔

Then Picture 5 must be “red” — how?

Unless the flag is red? But it’s not colored.

Perhaps the worksheet has a mistake? Unlikely.

Wait — maybe Picture 3 is “red” and Picture 5 is “led”.

How? If Picture 3 is a fire alarm or siren — often red — so implied red.

Picture 5: people following a leader → led.

Yes, that works better.

So revised:

Picture 1: bed → bed

Picture 2: wedding → wed

Picture 3: siren/light (implied red) → red

Picture 4: boy → Ted

Picture 5: group being led → led

Picture 6: feeding → fed

Perfect — all words used once, and logical.

Confirm:

- bed: obvious

- wed: marriage

- red: even though not colored, the symbol (siren/bell with rays) often represents alert/red in children’s materials

- Ted: personal name for the boy

- led: past tense of lead, shown by group following

- fed: feeding animals

Yes, this fits.

Final Answer:

bed - Picture 1
wed - Picture 2
red - Picture 3
Ted - Picture 4
led - Picture 5
fed - Picture 6

But since the task is to match, and the answer should be clear, I’ll write the pairs.

Final Answer:
Picture 1 → bed
Picture 2 → wed
Picture 3 → red
Picture 4 → Ted
Picture 5 → led
Picture 6 → fed
