Explanation:
We need to fill in the blanks with the correct consonant blend: either
pr or
pl on the left side, and
sk or
sc on the right side.
Let’s go row by row and think about what word each picture represents, then choose the correct blend.
1.
Orange circle (plate) → *plate* → starts with
pl
So:
plate
Right side: skirt (purple pleated skirt) → *skirt* → starts with
sk
So:
skirt
2.
Printer → *print* → starts with
pr
So:
print
Right side: school (building) → *school* → starts with
sch, but we only have
sk or
sc. The correct blend here is
sc (since “school” = sc + hool).
So:
school
3.
Plant → *plant* → starts with
pl
So:
plant
Right side: skull → *skull* → starts with
sk
So:
skull
4.
Prince (boy with crown and cape) → *prince* → starts with
pr
So:
prince
Right side: scarf → *scarf* → starts with
sc
So:
scarf
5.
Price tag ($$$) → *price* → starts with
pr
So:
price
Right side: ice skate → *skate* → starts with
sk
So:
skate
6.
Plus sign (+) → *plus* → starts with
pl
So:
plus
Right side: sky (clouds and sun) → *sky* → starts with
sk
So:
sky
Now let’s double-check all:
- plate → pl
✔
- skirt → sk
✔
- print → pr
✔
- school → sc
✔ (yes, “school” uses *sc*, even though it sounds like “sk”, the spelling is sc)
- plant → pl
✔
- skull → sk
✔
- prince → pr
✔
- scarf → sc
✔
- price → pr
✔
- skate → sk
✔
- plus → pl
✔
- sky → sk
✔
All make real words and match the pictures.
Final Answer:
pl, sk, pr, sc, pl, sk, pr, sc, pr, sk, pl, sk
