Long A Vowel Sound: Phonics Worksheets - Free Printable

I'll solve this "Missing Letters" worksheet by identifying each picture and filling in the missing letters to complete the words.

Let me go through each image one by one:

1. First image (top left): This looks like a gate. The word starts with "g" and ends with "t", so the missing letter is "a" → "gate"

2. Second image (top middle): This appears to be a cake with a candle on it. The word has "a" and "e" with a missing letter in between, so it's "cake"

3. Third image (top right): This shows a boy waving. The word starts with "w" and ends with "v", so the missing letter is "a" → "wave"

4. Fourth image (bottom left): This looks like a map with some treasure or landmarks. The word has "a" and "e" with a missing letter in between, so it's "map"

5. Fifth image (bottom middle): This is a candy cane. The word has "c" and "n" with a missing letter in between, so it's "cane"

6. Sixth image (bottom right): This shows a person running with an arrow indicating movement. The word starts with "r" and ends with "e", so the missing letter is "u" → "run"

Now I'll provide the complete solution:

The missing letters are:
- Gate: g_a_t → "a"
- Cake: c_a_e → "k"
- Wave: w_a_v_e → "a"
- Map: m_a_p → "p"
- Cane: c_a_n_e → "a"
- Run: r_u_n_e → "u"

Wait, let me reconsider the last one. The image shows someone running, and the word format is "_a_e". That would be "race" if it were "r_a_c_e", but that doesn't match the image. Looking again, it's more likely "run" but the format is "_a_e". Let me check if it might be "race" - but the image clearly shows running, not racing. Actually, looking at the format "_a_e", it could be "rare" but that doesn't fit the image. Let me re-examine.

Actually, looking at the image again, it shows a person running with an arrow, and the word format is "_a_e". This is likely "race" (r_a_c_e) where the "c" is the missing letter, even though the image primarily shows running. In educational contexts, "race" is often used for running competitions.

So the final answers are:
- Gate: "a"
- Cake: "k"
- Wave: "a"
- Map: "p"
- Cane: "a"
- Race: "c"
