Let’s go step by step to solve this “Pick the Blend” worksheet.

We are given pictures and word endings. We need to pick the correct beginning blend (two letters) from the options at the bottom to complete each word so it matches the picture.

The blends we can choose from are:
sc, sk, sn, sp, st, sw — and they’re repeated twice, so we have two of each.

Now let’s match each picture with the right blend:

---

1. Star + _ar → The word is “star”. So we need st → st + ar = star

2. Skirt + _irt → The word is “skirt”. So we need sk → sk + irt = skirt

3. Spider + _ider → The word is “spider”. So we need sp → sp + ider = spider

4. Snail + _ail → The word is “snail”. So we need sn → sn + ail = snail

5. Swan + _an → The word is “swan”. So we need sw → sw + an = swan

6. Scooter + _ooter → The word is “scooter”. So we need sc → sc + ooter = scooter

7. Snow + _ow → The word is “snow”. So we need sn → sn + ow = snow

8. Spoon + _oon → The word is “spoon”. So we need sp → sp + oon = spoon

9. Sky + _y → The word is “sky”. So we need sk → sk + y = sky

10. Stone + _one → The word is “stone”. So we need st → st + one = stone

11. Scarf + _arf → The word is “scarf”. So we need sc → sc + arf = scarf

12. Swing + _ing → The word is “swing”. So we need sw → sw + ing = swing

---

Let’s list all the answers in order as they appear on the worksheet (left column first, then right column):

Left Column:
- Star → st
- Spider → sp
- Swan → sw
- Snow → sn
- Sky → sk
- Scarf → sc

Right Column:
- Skirt → sk
- Snail → sn
- Scooter → sc
- Spoon → sp
- Stone → st
- Swing → sw

Wait — let’s double-check that we used each blend exactly twice? Let’s count:

From our answers:

- st: used for star, stone → 2 times ✔
- sk: used for skirt, sky → 2 times ✔
- sp: used for spider, spoon → 2 times ✔
- sn: used for snail, snow → 2 times ✔
- sw: used for swan, swing → 2 times ✔
- sc: used for scooter, scarf → 2 times ✔

Perfect! All blends are used exactly twice.

Now, writing the final answer in the order the boxes appear on the worksheet (row by row, left to right):

Row 1: star → st, skirt → sk
Row 2: spider → sp, snail → sn
Row 3: swan → sw, scooter → sc
Row 4: snow → sn, spoon → sp
Row 5: sky → sk, stone → st
Row 6: scarf → sc, swing → sw

So the sequence of blends to fill in the boxes is:

st, sk, sp, sn, sw, sc, sn, sp, sk, st, sc, sw

But wait — let’s make sure we’re matching the exact box positions.

Looking at the grid:

Top row: [ ]ar (star) | [ ]irt (skirt) → st, sk
Second row: [ ]ider (spider) | [ ]ail (snail) → sp, sn
Third row: [ ]an (swan) | [ ]ooter (scooter) → sw, sc
Fourth row: [ ]ow (snow) | [ ]oon (spoon) → sn, sp
Fifth row: [ ]y (sky) | [ ]one (stone) → sk, st
Sixth row: [ ]arf (scarf) | [ ]ing (swing) → sc, sw

Yes, that’s correct.

Final Answer:
st, sk, sp, sn, sw, sc, sn, sp, sk, st, sc, sw
