Let’s go step by step to solve this worksheet.
We are looking at words that have the vowel
O — either a
long O sound (like in “go” or “bone”) or a
short O sound (like in “pot” or “fox”).
The directions say:
1. Write the word under each picture.
2. Color the pictures (we can’t do that here, but you can!).
3. Circle the pictures with the
long O sound.

Let’s name each picture and decide if it has long O or short O:
Top row:
- Pot → short O (sounds like “ah”)
- Bone → long O (sounds like “oh”)
- Goat → long O (the “oa” makes the long O sound)
Middle row:
- Bow → long O (as in ribbon bow — sounds like “oh”)
- Fox → short O (sounds like “ah”)
- Mow → long O (as in mowing grass — sounds like “oh”)
Bottom row:
- Globe → long O (the “o” is pronounced “oh”)
- Sock → short O (sounds like “ah”)
- Soap → long O (the “oa” makes the long O sound)
Wait — let’s double-check “globe”. The word “globe” has an ‘o’ that says its name — /ō/ — so yes, long O.
Now, which ones have
long O? Let’s list them:
✔ Bone
✔ Goat
✔ Bow
✔ Mow
✔ Globe
✔ Soap
That’s 6 pictures with long O.
Short O pictures:
✘ Pot
✘ Fox
✘ Sock
(That’s 3 — total 9 pictures, checks out.)
So for the final answer, we need to write the words under each picture and circle the long O ones.
Since we’re giving only the final answer as per instructions, here’s what should be written under each picture (left to right, top to bottom):
---
Final Answer:
pot
bone
goat
bow
fox
mow
globe
sock
soap
Circle these pictures (for long O): bone, goat, bow, mow, globe, soap
