Phonics Blending Worksheet: Connect and blend the proper sound of the picture shown.

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given pictures and jumbled letters below each one. The task is to “say the sound” and then “connect and blend the proper sound of the picture shown.” That means we need to pick the right letters from the jumbled options to spell the word that matches the picture.

---

First Row:

1. Picture: Woman baking in oven → BAKE
- Letters: b e k e / a e r g
- Correct letters: b, a, k, e → “bake”
- So we pick: bake

2. Picture: Cloud → CLOUD
- Letters: c l o h / o u d k
- Correct letters: c, l, o, u, d → “cloud”
- So we pick: cloud

3. **Picture: Stack of books → BOOKS? Wait — looks like “shelf” or “stack”? Actually, it’s a pile of books — maybe “stack”? But let’s check letters: c a f l / w r s h → “shelf”? No. “Books”? Not matching. Wait — perhaps “craft”? No. Let’s think: maybe “shelf”? Doesn’t fit. Wait — actually, looking again — it’s a stack of books on a shelf? Or maybe “pile”? Hmm.

Wait — let’s look at the letters: c a f l / w r s h → possible words: “craft”? No. “flaw”? No. “wharf”? No.

Actually — maybe it’s “books”? But no ‘b’ or ‘o’ or ‘k’ here.

Wait — perhaps it’s “shelf”? But “shelf” would be s-h-e-l-f — not matching.

Hold on — maybe it’s “stack”? s-t-a-c-k — but we have c,a,f,l,w,r,s,h — no ‘t’, no ‘k’.

Wait — perhaps it’s “craft”? c-r-a-f-t — we have c,a,f,l,w,r,s,h — yes! c, r, a, f — but missing ‘t’. Hmm.

Wait — maybe I’m overcomplicating. Let’s look at the next ones first.

4. Picture: Fire → FIRE
- Letters: f l o x / a b m e
- Correct letters: f, i, r, e — but we don’t have ‘i’ or ‘r’ here? Wait — f,l,o,x / a,b,m,e — no ‘i’, no ‘r’. That can’t be.

Wait — maybe it’s “flame”? f-l-a-m-e — we have f,l,o,x / a,b,m,e — so f, l, a, m, e — yes! “flame”

So picture 4 is “flame”

Then picture 3 — if 4 is flame, maybe 3 is “books”? But letters don’t match.

Wait — let’s re-express:

Actually, looking back — maybe the third picture is “shelf”? But letters don’t fit.

Wait — perhaps it’s “craft”? Still missing ‘t’.

Another idea: maybe it’s “wharf”? w-h-a-r-f — we have w,h? No ‘h’ in first set. First set: c,a,f,l — second: w,r,s,h — so w,r,s,h and c,a,f,l — combine? “wharf” needs w,h,a,r,f — we have w,r,s,h and c,a,f,l — so w,a,r,f — yes! w,a,r,f — and h? We have h in second set. So “wharf”? But does the picture look like a wharf? It looks like stacked books or boxes.

Wait — perhaps it’s “stack”? s-t-a-c-k — we have s,c,a — but no t,k.

This is confusing. Let’s skip and come back.

---

Second Row:

5. Picture: Person skiing → SKI
- Letters: s h t d / o k i r
- Correct: s,k,i — we have s,h,t,d and o,k,i,r → so s,k,i → “ski”

6. Picture: Crown → CROWN
- Letters: c r i o / q g w n
- Correct: c,r,o,w,n — we have c,r,i,o and q,g,w,n → so c,r,o,w,n → “crown”

7. **Picture: Backpack → BACKPACK? Too long. Maybe “bag”? Or “pack”? Letters: s w u e / a t e r → “water”? s,w,u,e,a,t,e,r — “water” is w,a,t,e,r — yes! We have w,a,t,e,r — so “water”? But picture is a backpack. Wait — maybe it’s “sweater”? s,w,e,a,t,e,r — we have s,w,u,e and a,t,e,r — so s,w,e,a,t,e,r — “sweater”? But picture is a backpack. Hmm.

Wait — perhaps it’s “backpack”? Too many letters. Or “rucksack”? No.

Another thought: maybe it’s “satchel”? s,a,t,c,h,e,l — not matching.

Wait — letters: s,w,u,e / a,t,e,r — possible word: “sweater” — s,w,e,a,t,e,r — yes, we have all those letters. But picture is a backpack. Maybe it’s a mistake? Or perhaps it’s “water” — but why water for a backpack?

Wait — maybe it’s “pack”? p,a,c,k — no p,c,k.

Perhaps it’s “bag”? b,a,g — no b,g.

I think there might be an error in my assumption. Let’s look at the fourth in this row.

8. Picture: Shark → SHARK
- Letters: s h l k / v m a r
- Correct: s,h,a,r,k — we have s,h,l,k and v,m,a,r → so s,h,a,r,k → “shark”

So that works.

Back to #7 — backpack. Maybe it’s “satchel”? No. Or “knapsack”? No.

Wait — perhaps it’s “sweater” and the picture is misdrawn? Or maybe it’s “water” and the picture is wrong? Unlikely.

Another idea: maybe it’s “rucksack”? r,u,c,k,s,a,c,k — too long.

Wait — let’s count the dashes: for #7, there are 6 dashes: _ _ _ _ _ _ — so 6-letter word.

From letters: s,w,u,e,a,t,e,r — 8 letters, but we need to choose 6.

Possible 6-letter words: “sweater” is 7 letters. “water” is 5. “sweat” is 5. “towers”? t,o,w,e,r,s — we have t,o? No o in first set. First set: s,w,u,e — second: a,t,e,r — so letters available: s,w,u,e,a,t,e,r

Possible 6-letter word: “sweater” is 7. “water” is 5. “sweat” is 5. “towers” — no o. “ruse” — too short.

Wait — “sweater” is 7 letters, but we have 6 dashes. So not.

Perhaps “packer”? p,a,c,k,e,r — no p,c.

I think I made a mistake. Let’s look at the picture again — it’s a backpack, but maybe it’s meant to be “satchel” or something else.

Wait — another possibility: “sweater” has 7 letters, but maybe the dashes are not accurate? Or perhaps it’s “sweat” + “er” but that’s 7.

Let’s move on and come back.

---

Third Row:

9. Picture: Sheep → SHEEP
- Letters: g r o t / a f z e
- Correct: s,h,e,e,p — but we have g,r,o,t,a,f,z,e — no s,h,p. That can’t be.

Wait — “sheep” — s,h,e,e,p — not in letters.

Perhaps “goat”? g,o,a,t — we have g,r,o,t and a,f,z,e — so g,o,a,t — “goat”? But picture is sheep.

Or “flock”? f,l,o,c,k — no l,c,k.

Wait — “sheep” — maybe it’s “ewe”? e,w,e — no w.

This is not working.

10. **Picture: Jar of jam or honey → JAR? Or “jam”? Letters: f w l o / q u r e → “flour”? f,l,o,u,r — we have f,w,l,o and q,u,r,e — so f,l,o,u,r — “flour”? But picture is a jar, not flour.

“Jam”? j,a,m — no j,a,m.

“Honey”? h,o,n,e,y — no h,n,y.

“Jar”? j,a,r — no j.

Perhaps “quilt”? q,u,i,l,t — no i,t.

Another idea: “flower”? f,l,o,w,e,r — we have f,l,o,w and q,u,r,e — so f,l,o,w,e,r — “flower”? But picture is a jar.

This is confusing.

11. Picture: Crab → CRAB
- Letters: c d j r / s h a b
- Correct: c,r,a,b — we have c,d,j,r and s,h,a,b — so c,r,a,b — “crab”

12. Picture: Door → DOOR
- Letters: d y h r / s o o b
- Correct: d,o,o,r — we have d,y,h,r and s,o,o,b — so d,o,o,r — “door”

Okay, so #11 and #12 work.

Back to #9: sheep — letters g,r,o,t / a,f,z,e — possible word: “goat” — g,o,a,t — yes! And goats are similar to sheep, maybe the picture is ambiguous. Or perhaps it’s “flock” — but no l,c,k.

“Gaze”? g,a,z,e — we have g,a,z,e — “gaze”? But not related to sheep.

“Froze”? f,r,o,z,e — we have f,r,o,z,e — “froze”? Not related.

I think “goat” is the best fit, even though the picture says sheep. Maybe it’s a mistake, or perhaps in some contexts, it’s accepted.

Similarly, #10: jar — letters f,w,l,o / q,u,r,e — “flour” — f,l,o,u,r — yes, and flour comes in bags or jars, so maybe it’s “flour”.

But let’s confirm with the first row.

For #3: stack of books — letters c,a,f,l / w,r,s,h — possible word: “wharf” — w,h,a,r,f — we have w,h,a,r,f — yes, but wharf is a dock, not books.

“Craft” — c,r,a,f,t — no t.

“Shelf” — s,h,e,l,f — we have s,h,l,f — and e? No e in first set. First set: c,a,f,l — second: w,r,s,h — so s,h,l,f — and a? a is in first set. So s,h,a,l,f — “shaft”? s,h,a,f,t — no t.

“Flaws” — f,l,a,w,s — we have f,l,a,w,s — yes! “flaws” — but does the picture look like flaws? No, it looks like books.

Perhaps it’s “stack” — s,t,a,c,k — no t,k.

I think there might be errors in my initial assumptions.

Let’s try a different approach. For each picture, what is the most common word associated with it, and see if the letters match.

1. Baking woman → BAKE — letters b,e,k,e / a,e,r,g — b,a,k,e — yes.

2. Cloud → CLOUD — c,l,o,u,d — letters c,l,o,h / o,u,d,k — c,l,o,u,d — yes.

3. Stack of books — perhaps “BOOKS” — b,o,o,k,s — not in letters. “LIBRARY”? Too long. “SHELF” — s,h,e,l,f — letters c,a,f,l / w,r,s,h — s,h,l,f — and e? No e. So not.

Wait — “STACK” — s,t,a,c,k — no t,k.

Another idea: “PILE” — p,i,l,e — no p,i,e.

Perhaps “CRAFT” — c,r,a,f,t — no t.

I recall that in some phonics worksheets, they use simple words. Maybe it’s “FIRE” for the fourth, but we have f,l,o,x / a,b,m,e — “flame” — f,l,a,m,e — yes.

For the third, perhaps it’s “WRAP” — w,r,a,p — no p.

Let’s look at the letters for #3: c,a,f,l / w,r,s,h — and 5 dashes: _ _ _ _ _ — so 5-letter word.

Possible words: “craft” — c,r,a,f,t — no t.

“flaws” — f,l,a,w,s — yes! f,l,a,w,s — and we have f,l,a,w,s — so “flaws”? But the picture is not flaws.

“sharf” — not a word.

“wharf” — w,h,a,r,f — yes, w,h,a,r,f — and we have w,h,a,r,f — so “wharf”.

But the picture is a stack of books, not a wharf. This is inconsistent.

Perhaps the picture is of a wharf? But it looks like books.

Another possibility: “shelf” — but no e.

I think I need to accept that for #3, it might be “wharf” even if the picture is misleading, or perhaps it’s a different interpretation.

Let’s list all the answers we are sure of:

1. BAKE
2. CLOUD
4. FLAME
5. SKI
6. CROWN
8. SHARK
11. CRAB
12. DOOR

For #7: backpack — letters s,w,u,e / a,t,e,r — 6 dashes — “sweater” is 7 letters, so not. “water” is 5. “sweat” is 5. “towers” — no o. “ruse” — too short.

“Sweater” has 7 letters, but perhaps the dashes are for 6, so maybe it’s “sweat” + “er” but that’s 7.

Perhaps it’s “packer” — p,a,c,k,e,r — no p,c.

Another idea: “satchel” — s,a,t,c,h,e,l — 7 letters.

I think there might be a mistake. Let’s assume it’s “sweater” and the dashes are incorrect, or perhaps it’s “water” and the picture is wrong.

But let’s look at the letters: s,w,u,e,a,t,e,r — and 6 dashes — so perhaps “sweat” is 5, not 6.

“Tears” — t,e,a,r,s — we have t,e,a,r,s — “tears”? But not related to backpack.

“Ruses” — r,u,s,e,s — we have r,u,s,e,s — “ruses”? Not related.

I think for the sake of completing, I'll go with “sweater” even though it's 7 letters, or perhaps it’s “water” and the picture is of water, but it's a backpack.

Perhaps the backpack is for carrying water, so “water” — but 5 letters, and 6 dashes.

Let’s count the dashes for #7: in the image, it’s _ _ _ _ _ _ — 6 underscores.

So 6-letter word.

From s,w,u,e,a,t,e,r — possible 6-letter words: “sweater” is 7, “water” is 5, “sweat” is 5, “towers” — no o, “ruse” is 4, “tears” is 5, “ruses” is 5, “stewer” — not a word.

“Sweater” is the only logical choice, so perhaps the dashes are miscounted, or it’s “sweat” with an extra letter.

Another possibility: “quiver” — q,u,i,v,e,r — no i,v.

I think I have to conclude that for #7, it’s “sweater” and the dashes are for 7, but in the image it’s 6, so maybe it’s a typo.

Similarly for #9: sheep — letters g,r,o,t / a,f,z,e — 5 dashes — “goat” is 4 letters, “flock” is 5 — f,l,o,c,k — no l,c,k.

“Gaze” is 4, “froze” is 5 — f,r,o,z,e — we have f,r,o,z,e — “froze”? But not related to sheep.

“Zebra” — z,e,b,r,a — no b.

“Froze” might be it, but that doesn't make sense.

Perhaps “sheep” is not the word; maybe it’s “ewe” — e,w,e — no w.

I think for #9, “goat” is the closest, even though it's 4 letters and there are 5 dashes.

Let’s assume the dashes are approximate.

For #10: jar — letters f,w,l,o / q,u,r,e — 6 dashes — “flour” is 5 letters, “flower” is 6 — f,l,o,w,e,r — we have f,l,o,w,e,r — yes! “flower” — and perhaps the jar is for flowers or something, but it looks like a jar of jam.

“Flour” is 5 letters, “flower” is 6, so “flower” fits the 6 dashes.

So for #10, “flower”.

For #9, with 5 dashes, and letters g,r,o,t,a,f,z,e — “flock” is 5, but no l,c,k. “Gaze” is 4. “Froze” is 5 — f,r,o,z,e — yes, and perhaps the sheep are frozen? Unlikely.

“Goats” — g,o,a,t,s — we have g,o,a,t,s — “goats” — 5 letters, and we have g,o,a,t,s — yes! g from first set, o from first, a from second, t from second, s from second — so “goats”.

And the picture might be of goats, not sheep. In some drawings, sheep and goats look similar.

So let’s go with that.

Similarly, for #3, with 5 dashes, letters c,a,f,l / w,r,s,h — “wharf” is 5 letters — w,h,a,r,f — yes.

And perhaps the picture is of a wharf, but it looks like books. Maybe it’s a different interpretation.

So final decisions:

1. BAKE
2. CLOUD
3. WHARF (even though picture is books, letters match)
4. FLAME
5. SKI
6. CROWN
7. SWEATER (even though 7 letters, dashes are 6, but it's the only logical word)
8. SHARK
9. GOATS
10. FLOWER
11. CRAB
12. DOOR

But for #7, "sweater" has 7 letters, and there are 6 dashes, so perhaps it's "sweat" but that's 5.

Another idea for #7: "backpack" is too long. "Rucksack" is 8.

Perhaps "satchel" is 7.

I think I have to accept "sweater" and assume the dashes are for 7, or perhaps it's "water" and the dashes are for 5, but it's 6.

Let’s look at the image description: for #7, it's a backpack, and letters s,w,u,e / a,t,e,r — and 6 dashes.

Perhaps "sweater" is intended, and the dashes are misdrawn.

For the sake of completing, I'll use the words that fit the letters best.

So:

1. bake
2. cloud
3. wharf
4. flame
5. ski
6. crown
7. sweater (assuming 7 letters, but dashes are 6 — perhaps it's "sweat" but that's 5)
8. shark
9. goats
10. flower
11. crab
12. door

For #7, if I must choose a 6-letter word, from s,w,u,e,a,t,e,r — "teasers" — t,e,a,s,e,r,s — we have t,e,a,s,e,r,s — "teasers"? But not related.

"Stewer" — not a word.

I think "sweater" is the intended answer, so I'll go with that.

Similarly, for #3, "wharf" is the only 5-letter word that fits the letters.

So final answers:

1. bake
2. cloud
3. wharf
4. flame
5. ski
6. crown
7. sweater
8. shark
9. goats
10. flower
11. crab
12. door

But let's write them as per the dashes.

For #7, if there are 6 dashes, and "sweater" is 7, perhaps it's "sweat" with an 'er' but that's 7.

Another possibility: "quiver" — q,u,i,v,e,r — no i,v.

I think I have to box the answers as per the letters.

Perhaps for #7, it's "water" and the dashes are for 5, but in the image it's 6, so maybe it's a mistake.

Let’s assume the following based on common words:

- Baking: bake
- Cloud: cloud
- Books: perhaps "stack" but letters don't match, so "wharf" as per letters
- Fire: flame
- Skiing: ski
- Crown: crown
- Backpack: perhaps "satchel" but letters don't match, so "sweater" as per letters
- Shark: shark
- Sheep: "goats" as per letters
- Jar: "flower" as per letters
- Crab: crab
- Door: door

So the final answer is the list of words.

Since the task is to connect and blend, the answer is the spelled-out words.

So for the final answer, I'll list them in order.

Final Answer:
bake, cloud, wharf, flame, ski, crown, sweater, shark, goats, flower, crab, door

But to be precise, let's write them as they should be written.

Perhaps for #3, it's "craft" but no t.

I recall that in some worksheets, "shelf" is used, but letters don't match.

Another idea for #3: "flaws" — f,l,a,w,s — and the picture might be of flaws, but it's not.

I think I have to go with the letter match.

So I'll box the answer as:

bake, cloud, wharf, flame, ski, crown, sweater, shark, goats, flower, crab, door

But for #7, "sweater" has 7 letters, and there are 6 dashes, so perhaps it's "sweat" but that's 5.

Let’s count the letters in "sweater": s-w-e-a-t-e-r — 7 letters.

In the image, for #7, there are 6 underscores, so 6 letters.

From s,w,u,e,a,t,e,r — possible 6-letter word: "sweat" is 5, "water" is 5, "towers" — no o, "ruses" is 5, "tears" is 5, "stew" is 4, "sweat" is 5.

"Quiver" — no.

Perhaps "sweater" is not it.

Another word: "sweat" + "er" but that's 7.

I think there might be a typo in the worksheet, or in my reading.

Perhaps for #7, the picture is of a sweater, not a backpack. In some drawings, a backpack might look like a sweater, but unlikely.

Let’s assume that for #7, it's "sweater" and the dashes are for 7, but in the text it's shown as 6, so perhaps it's a formatting error.

Similarly, for #9, "goats" is 5 letters, and there are 5 dashes, so that works.

For #10, "flower" is 6 letters, 6 dashes, good.

For #3, "wharf" is 5 letters, 5 dashes, good.

For #7, if I must have 6 letters, from s,w,u,e,a,t,e,r — "sweater" is 7, so perhaps "sweat" is not, or "water" is not.

"Stewer" is not a word.

"Ruse" is 4.

I think the intended word for #7 is "sweater", so I'll include it.

So the final answer is:

bake, cloud, wharf, flame, ski, crown, sweater, shark, goats, flower, crab, door

To write it nicely:

Final Answer:
bake, cloud, wharf, flame, ski, crown, sweater, shark, goats, flower, crab, door
