---

🔍 Objective:

Find the CVC words with a short 'e' sound in the grid, match them to the pictures below, and write the correct word under each picture.

---

✔ Step 1: Understand the Word List

The list of possible words is:
- ten
- leg
- bed
- peg
- net
- wet

All these are CVC words with short 'e'.

---

✔ Step 2: Look at the Grid

Here’s the grid:

```
p d v b e d
e f l e g k
g a n t e n
a g u m y e
b i n w e t
```

We need to find the words from the list hidden horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Let’s search for each word:

#### 🔎 Find "ten"
- Look for t-e-n
- Row 3: `g a n t e n` → positions: column 4 = t, 5 = e, 6 = n → "ten" is in row 3, columns 4–6

✔ Found: ten

#### 🔎 Find "leg"
- l-e-g
- Row 2: `e f l e g k` → look for l-e-g
- Column 3: l, 4: e, 5: g → "leg" is in row 2, columns 3–5

✔ Found: leg

#### 🔎 Find "bed"
- b-e-d
- Row 1: `p d v b e d` → column 4: b, 5: e, 6: d → "bed" is in row 1, columns 4–6

✔ Found: bed

#### 🔎 Find "peg"
- p-e-g
- Look for p-e-g
- Row 1: p, d, v, b, e, d → no p-e-g
- Row 2: e, f, l, e, g, k → no
- Row 3: g, a, n, t, e, n → no
- Row 4: a, g, u, m, y, e → no
- Row 5: b, i, n, w, e, t → no
- Try diagonal?
- Start at top-left: p, f, a, g, b → no
- Try down-right: p→f→n→m→w → no
- Try p (row1,col1), then e (row2,col2)? p→f→a→g→i → no
- Wait — try column-wise?
- Column 1: p, e, g, a, b → no
- Column 2: d, f, a, g, i → no
- Column 3: v, l, n, u, n → no
- Column 4: b, e, t, m, w → b-e-t → not peg
- Column 5: e, g, e, y, e → e-g-e-y-e → no
- Column 6: d, k, n, e, t → d-k-n-e-t → no

Wait — maybe "peg" isn't in the grid?

But let’s check again. Maybe it’s written vertically?

Try vertical:
- Column 1: p, e, g, a, b → p-e-g → yes! p (row1,col1), e (row2,col1), g (row3,col1) → "peg" is in column 1, rows 1–3!

✔ Found: peg (vertical)

#### 🔎 Find "net"
- n-e-t
- Look for n-e-t
- Row 3: g a n t e n → n at col3, t at col4, e at col5 → but that's n-t-e → not net
- Row 4: a g u m y e → no
- Row 5: b i n w e t → n at col3, w at col4, e at col5, t at col6 → n-w-e-t → no
- But what about column 6: d, k, n, e, t → d-k-n-e-t → so n-e-t appears in column 6: row3 (n), row4 (e), row5 (t) → "net" vertically!

✔ Found: net (column 6, rows 3–5)

#### 🔎 Find "wet"
- w-e-t
- Row 5: b i n w e t → w (col4), e (col5), t (col6) → "wet" horizontally in row 5, cols 4–6

✔ Found: wet

So all six words are present:
- ten → row 3, cols 4–6
- leg → row 2, cols 3–5
- bed → row 1, cols 4–6
- peg → col 1, rows 1–3
- net → col 6, rows 3–5
- wet → row 5, cols 4–6

✔ Step 3: Match Pictures to Words

Now, look at the pictures and match the correct word:

1. Clothes on clothesline with water droplets → wet shirt → wet
2. Net (like fishing net) → net
3. Number 10 → ten
4. Clothespin → peg
5. Bed → bed
6. Leg → leg

---

✔ Final Answers (write under each picture):

| Picture | Word |
|--------|------|
| Wet shirt | wet |
| Net | net |
| Number 10 | ten |
| Clothespin | peg |
| Bed | bed |
| Leg | leg |

---

✔ Write the Answers in the Boxes:

Under each image, fill in the letters:

1. Wet shirt → w e t
2. Net → n e t
3. 10 → t e n
4. Clothespin → p e g
5. Bed → b e d
6. Leg → l e g

📝 Final Answer Key:

```
[ w ] [ e ] [ t ] [ n ] [ e ] [ t ] [ t ] [ e ] [ n ]
[ p ] [ e ] [ g ] [ b ] [ e ] [ d ] [ l ] [ e ] [ g ]
