Of course! Let's solve this CVC (Consonant-Vowel-Consonant) word matching worksheet. The goal is to match each word on the left with the correct picture on the right that it describes.

Here’s the step-by-step solution:

---

1. bud
- A “bud” is a small, undeveloped flower or leaf on a plant.
- Look at the pictures: the one showing a branch with small leaves and a red arrow pointing to a tiny growth is the bud.
Match: bud → picture of a plant branch with a bud

---

2. bug
- A “bug” is a small insect.
- The picture of the red beetle is clearly a bug.
Match: bug → picture of a red beetle

---

3. bun
- A “bun” is a small, round bread roll — often used for sandwiches or hamburgers.
- The picture of the round bread on a plate is the bun.
Match: bun → picture of a bread roll on a plate

---

4. jug
- A “jug” is a container with a handle and spout, used for holding liquids.
- The picture of the pitcher filled with water is a jug.
Match: jug → picture of a water jug/pitcher

---

5. cub
- A “cub” is a young bear (or other animal like lion or wolf).
- The picture shows a large bear and a smaller baby bear — the small one is the cub.
Match: cub → picture of the small bear next to the big bear

---

6. cup
- A “cup” is a small container for drinking.
- The picture of the white mug is a cup.
Match: cup → picture of a white mug

---
