Step-by-step solution for: Worksheet: -ICK Word Family
Let me work through this worksheet step by step.
Word Building Section:
The task is to combine letters with "-ick" to make words from the -ick family.
1. s + ick = sick
2. k + ick = kick
3. ch + ick = chick
4. p + ick = pick
Sentence Fill-ins Section:
I need to fill in the blanks with words from the word bank at the bottom: sl, tr, th
Looking at each sentence:
1. "He likes to ___ lick lollipops."
- This needs a word that makes sense with "lick"
- Looking at the options: sl, tr, th
- "sick" doesn't fit here
- Wait, let me reconsider. The word bank shows: sl | tr | th
- These might be parts of words or the answers could be different
- Actually, looking more carefully, I think these are meant to complete words ending in -ick
- Let me think about what words would fit:
- "He likes to [word] lick lollipops" - hmm, this is tricky
- Maybe it's asking for words like "thick," "trick," etc.
Let me reconsider the word bank. It shows: sl | tr | th
These appear to be prefixes/suffixes to add to "ick":
- sl + ick = slick
- tr + ick = trick
- th + ick = thick
Now let's match them to sentences:
1. "He likes to ___ lick lollipops."
- Could be "sick" but that doesn't make sense
- Could be "trick" - "He likes to trick lick lollipops" - doesn't make sense either
- Hmm, let me re-read... maybe it's just filling in with -ick words
- Actually wait - looking at the structure again, I think some blanks need full -ick words
Let me look at all four sentences together:
1. He likes to ___ lick lollipops.
2. The magic ___ ick was amazing.
3. Grass gets ___ ick when it rains.
4. The pond ice is two feet ___ ick.
For sentence 2: "The magic ___ ick was amazing" - This needs a prefix before "ick", so it would be "trick" (tr + ick)
For sentence 3: "Grass gets ___ ick when it rains" - This needs a prefix, likely "slick" (sl + ick)
For sentence 4: "The pond ice is two feet ___ ick" - This needs "thick" (th + ick)
For sentence 1: "He likes to ___ lick lollipops" - This one seems to need a full word, not just a prefix. Looking at the Word Building section, we have: sick, kick, chick, pick. "Pick" would make sense: "He likes to pick lollipops" but it says "lick" not just the blank...
Wait, let me re-read sentence 1 more carefully. It says "He likes to ___ lick lollipops." If the answer is "sick," that would be "He likes to sick lick lollipops" which doesn't make sense.
Actually, I think I'm overcomplicating this. Let me look at the word bank again: sl | tr | th
These three items correspond to three of the four sentences (sentences 2, 3, and 4 based on the "___ ick" format).
For sentence 1, since it just has "___" without "ick" after it, it probably needs a complete -ick word from the Word Building section. "Pick" makes the most sense: "He likes to pick lollipops" - but wait, it says "lick" in the sentence already...
Oh! I see now - sentence 1 says "He likes to ___ lick lollipops" where the blank is separate from "lick". So it could be an adverb or another word. But none of our -ick words work as adverbs here...
Let me reconsider: Maybe sentence 1 is meant to use "sick" as in "He likes to [be] sick [and] lick lollipops"? No, that's stretching it.
Actually, looking at the pattern, I think sentence 1 might just need "pick" making it "He likes to pick lollipops" and the word "lick" is part of a different construction or there's a typo in my reading.
Let me try a different approach - maybe the first sentence should read with just the blank filled:
"He likes to [blank] lollipops" where the blank is a -ick word.
If that's the case:
- pick lollipops ✓ (makes sense)
- kick lollipops ✗
- chick lollipops ✗
- sick lollipops ✗
So sentence 1 = pick
But wait, the sentence clearly shows "lick" after the blank. Let me assume the worksheet has "He likes to ___ lollipops" and I'm misreading it as having "lick" in there.
Given the word bank only has sl, tr, th (three items) and there are four sentences, sentence 1 must use a complete word from Word Building.
Final Answer:
Word Building:
1. sick
2. kick
3. chick
4. pick
Sentence Fill-ins:
1. pick (or possibly another -ick word depending on exact sentence structure)
2. tr (making "trick")
3. sl (making "slick")
4. th (making "thick")
