Missing Letters Worksheet for CVC Words with Illustrations

Let’s go step by step to find the missing letters in each word.

We are told this is about “CVCe, Silent e words” — that means words with a consonant-vowel-consonant-silent ‘e’ pattern. The silent ‘e’ at the end makes the vowel say its name (like “a” says /ā/, “i” says /ī”, etc.).

Let’s look at each word:

1. _age → We need a letter before “age”. What word fits? “Cage”! A bird lives in a cage. So the missing letter is c. Word: cage

2. f_ce → Missing letter in the middle. Think of body parts — “face”! That’s what we see on people. So missing letter is a. Word: face

3. ca_e → Missing letter before the final ‘e’. It’s a birthday thing — “cake”! Yes, you eat cake on birthdays. Missing letter is k. Word: cake

4. r_ke → Something you use to clean leaves or grass — “rake”! Missing letter is a. Word: rake

5. tap_ _ase → This one has two blanks. Let’s think… “tape case”? No. Wait — it looks like a roll of tape and a vase? Actually, looking at the picture: first is a rake, then a roll of tape, then a vase. But the word is written as “tap_ _ase”. Hmm — maybe it’s two separate words? Wait — no, the layout shows three images per row. First row: cage, face, cake. Second row: rake, tape, vase. Oh! The last one is “vase”, not part of “tape”. So actually, the second row is:
- r_ke → rake
- tap_ → tape (missing ‘e’)
- _ase → vase (missing ‘v’)

Wait — let me check again. The worksheet writes:

Second row:
r□ke tap□□ase

But there are three pictures: rake, tape, vase.

So likely, “tap□□ase” is meant to be split into two words: “tape” and “vase”.

That makes sense because “tape” ends with ‘e’, and “vase” starts with ‘v’ and ends with ‘e’.

So:

- tap□ → should be “tape” → missing letter is e
- □ase → should be “vase” → missing letter is v

But the way it’s written: “tap□□ase” — that’s 7 letters total? Tap + 2 blanks + ase = 3+2+3=8? Wait, let’s count:

“tap” is 3 letters, then two boxes, then “ase” is 3 letters → total 8 characters? But “tape” is 4, “vase” is 4 — together 8. So yes — it’s “tape” and “vase” combined in one line? That seems odd.

Alternatively, maybe it’s a typo or formatting issue. Looking at the image description: the second row has three images: rake, tape, vase. And under them: r□ke, tap□□ase.

Probably, “tap□□ase” is meant to be two separate words: “tape” and “vase”, but they’re squished together. So:

- For “tap□” → add ‘e’ → “tape”
- For “□ase” → add ‘v’ → “vase”

So the two missing letters are e and v.

But since it’s written as “tap□□ase”, we fill the first box after “tap” with ‘e’, and the next box (before “ase”) with ‘v’. So:

tap e v ase → tape vase

Yes.

So summarizing:

First row:
- cage → c
- face → a
- cake → k

Second row:
- rake → a
- tape → e (first blank in “tap□□ase”)
- vase → v (second blank in “tap□□ase”)

Now, write the full words:

Row 1: cage, face, cake
Row 2: rake, tape, vase

Final Answer:
cage, face, cake, rake, tape, vase
