Step-by-Step Solution:
####
Part 1: Circle the word in each pair that has the long "e" sound
We need to identify which word in each pair contains the long "e" sound (/iː/). Let's analyze each pair:
1.
sheep - slept
- "sheep": Pronounced as /ʃiːp/ (long "e")
- "slept": Pronounced as /slɛpt/ (short "e")
-
Circle: sheep
2.
wet - weak
- "wet": Pronounced as /wɛt/ (short "e")
- "weak": Pronounced as /wiːk/ (long "e")
-
Circle: weak
3.
whether - wheeled
- "whether": Pronounced as /ˈhwɛðər/ or /ˈwɛðər/ (short "e")
- "wheeled": Pronounced as /hiːld/ (long "e")
-
Circle: wheeled
4.
priest - pretty
- "priest": Pronounced as /prɪst/ (short "e")
- "pretty": Pronounced as /ˈprɪti/ (short "e")
-
Circle: Neither (both have short "e")
5.
neat - knead
- "neat": Pronounced as /niːt/ (long "e")
- "knead": Pronounced as /kniːd/ (long "e")
-
Circle: Both (both have long "e")

Part 2: Say the name of each picture. If it has a Long A sound, draw a line to connect the picture to the Long A
We need to identify if the names of the pictures contain the
long "e" sound and connect them to the Long "E".
1.
Pencil
- Pronounced as /ˈpɛn.səl/ (short "e")
-
No connection
2.
Monkey
- Pronounced as /ˈmʌŋ.ki/ (short "e")
-
No connection
3.
Elephant
- Pronounced as /ˈɛl.ə.fənt/ (short "e")
-
No connection
4.
Tooth
- Pronounced as /tuːθ/ (long "oo" sound, not long "e")
-
No connection
5.
Foot
- Pronounced as /fʊt/ (short "oo" sound, not long "e")
-
No connection

Final Answer:
1.
sheep
2.
weak
3.
wheeled
4.
Neither
5.
Both
For the pictures, none of them contain the long "e" sound, so no connections are drawn.
Final Answer Boxed:
$$
\boxed{\text{sheep, weak, wheeled, Neither, Both}}
$$
