4. Name the pictures.

Look at the images and write the correct word:

1. 🦴 → bone
2. 🐱 (cat in hat) → cat (or possibly "hat"? But it's clearly a cat wearing a hat — likely just cat)
However, given the context, it’s probably cat
3. 🕯️ (candle on a stand) → candle
4. 🐌 → snail
5. 🪜 (ladder) → ladder

✔ Answers: bone, cat, candle, snail, ladder

> Note: The second image looks like a cat wearing a hat, so “cat” is the most logical answer unless it's meant to be “hat,” but the animal is more prominent.

Spelling Challenge

Use the letters in r e a d i n g to make new words.

The word reading has these letters:
r, e, a, d, i, n, g

Now, use those letters to form as many valid words as possible.

Here are some possible words:

- read (4 letters)
- red (3 letters)
- ran (3 letters)
- rag (3 letters)
- din (3 letters)
- dig (3 letters)
- and (3 letters)
- die (3 letters)
- are (3 letters)
- dine (4 letters)
- near (4 letters)
- darn (4 letters)
- grin (4 letters)
- rang (4 letters)
- ride (4 letters)
- garden? → No, no 'o' or 't' — not possible.
- grade → yes! g, r, a, d, e → all in reading → ✔
- diner → d, i, n, e, r → all present → ✔

So, let’s list valid words from the letters:

✔ Possible 3-letter words:
- red
- ran
- rag
- din
- dig
- and
- die
- are
- den
- ear
- end
- gin
- rid
- sir (no 's') ✘
- tag (no 't') ✘

✔ 4-letter words:
- read
- raid
- rage
- rare
- dare
- grin
- grin
- ride
- near
- darn
- rage
- grade
- diner
- grind (has 'm'? No — 'g,r,i,n,d' → yes!) → grind ✔

Wait: grind = g, r, i, n, d → all in reading → ✔

Also: diner, nadir, reign, daring, gander, etc.

But we need only valid English words using only the letters in reading.

Let’s list a few good ones:

- read
- red
- ran
- rag
- and
- die
- din
- dig
- ear
- end
- rid
- run → no 'u' ✘
- rag ✔
- dare
- rain → has 'i', 'n' → yes → ✔
- rain = r,a,i,n → all in reading → ✔
- grin = g,r,i,n → ✔
- grade = g,r,a,d,e → ✔
- diner = d,i,n,e,r → ✔
- dared = d,a,r,e,d → double 'd'? Yes, reading has one 'd' → can't use twice → ✘
- So no repeated letters beyond what’s in reading

Letters: r, e, a, d, i, n, g → each appears once.

So, no repeated letters allowed.

Valid words:

1. read
2. red
3. ran
4. rag
5. and
6. die
7. din
8. dig
9. ear
10. end
11. rid
12. air (a,i,r) → ✔
13. ire (i,r,e) → ✔
14. rag → already listed
15. rain → ✔
16. grin → ✔
17. grade → ✔
18. diner → ✔
19. dine → ✔
20. near → ✔
21. darn → ✔
22. garden → needs 'o' → ✘
23. range → r,a,n,g,e → ✔
24. anger → a,n,g,e,r → ✔
25. giant → needs 't' → ✘
26. dinger → too long? Not common → maybe not acceptable

So, here are some valid words you could write:

- read
- red
- ran
- rag
- and
- die
- din
- dig
- ear
- end
- rid
- air
- ire
- rain
- grin
- grade
- diner
- dine
- near
- darn
- range
- anger

You get 5 points per correct word.

So if you write 5 words, you score 25 points.

But the grid is a crossword-style box with 7 columns and descending rows:

```
[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ][ ]
[ ][ ]
[ ]
```

This suggests making words that fit into a pattern — perhaps forming a word ladder or puzzle.

But since the instruction says: *"Use the letters in this word to make new words."*, and the grid might be for writing answers, you can simply fill in the words you found.

For example:

- In the first row (7 letters): reading (original word)
- Then shorter words below.

But the challenge is just to make new words using the letters.

So, you can write:

1. read
2. red
3. ran
4. rag
5. and
6. die
7. din
8. dig
9. ear
10. end
11. rid
12. air
13. ire
14. rain
15. grin
16. grade
17. diner
18. dine
19. near
20. darn
21. range
22. anger

Any 5 of these would earn 25 points.
