Let me carefully examine the image to identify all the pictures and determine which words they represent, then sort them into the "OU" and "OW" boxes.
First, I'll list all the pictures and think about what word each one likely represents:
1. Mouse → "mouse" (contains *ou*)
2. Cloud → "cloud" (contains *ou*)
3. Bed → "bed" — no *ou* or *ow*
4. Person showering → "shower" (contains *ow*)
5. Clown → "clown" (contains *ow*)
6. House → "house" (contains *ou*)
7. Owl → "owl" (contains *ow*)
8. Mouth → "mouth" (contains *ou*)
9. Flower → "flower" (contains *ow*)
10. Cow → "cow" (contains *ow*)
11. Boy in uniform (maybe scout or soldier) → possibly "boy" (contains *oy*, not *ou* or *ow*) — but maybe it's meant to be "found"? No, picture is clearly a boy. Let’s hold.
12. Crown → "crown" (contains *ow*)
Wait—I need to be precise. The instruction says: *Sort the ou and ow words* — so only words that actually contain the letter combinations
ou or
ow should be placed.
Let me go one by one and assign correct words:
- Mouse →
mouse → *ou*
✔
- Cloud →
cloud → *ou*
✔
- Bed →
bed → no *ou*/*ow* → ignore
- Shower →
shower → *ow*
✔
- Clown →
clown → *ow*
✔
- House →
house → *ou*
✔
- Owl →
owl → *ow*
✔
- Mouth →
mouth → *ou*
✔
- Flower →
flower → *ow*
✔
- Cow →
cow → *ow*
✔
- Boy (person with cap, making peace sign) → likely
boy → *oy*, not *ou* or *ow* → ignore
- Crown →
crown → *ow*
✔
Also, there’s a smiling flower — that’s “flower”, already counted.
Let me double-check spelling:
- mouse → ou
- cloud → ou
- house → ou
- mouth → ou
→ That’s 4 words with
ou
- shower → ow
- clown → ow
- owl → ow
- flower → ow
- cow → ow
- crown → ow
→ That’s 6 words with
ow
Now, verify if any picture could be misread:
The cloud is definitely “cloud”.
The mouse is “mouse”.
The house is “house”.
The mouth is “mouth”.
All correct.
The person showering: yes, “shower”.
Clown: “clown”.
Owl: “owl”.
Flower: “flower”.
Cow: “cow”.
Crown: “crown”.
No other pictures contain *ou* or *ow*.
So final sorting:
- OU box: mouse, cloud, house, mouth
- OW box: shower, clown, owl, flower, cow, crown
But the question asks for the final answer — likely listing the words in each group.
Since the user didn’t specify format, and the task is to sort into boxes, the expected answer is probably the list of words for each.
However, per instructions:
→ Provide only the final correct answer.
So I’ll output the words grouped clearly.
Final Answer:
OU: mouse, cloud, house, mouth
OW: shower, clown, owl, flower, cow, crown
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of ou and ow sound worksheet.
