Spelling Rules worksheet featuring images and vowel-filled word puzzles for children to complete.

Let’s solve this step by step.

The instruction says: “Every syllable has at least one vowel. Fill in the missing vowels.”

We’ll go word by word, using the picture to help us guess the correct word, then fill in the missing vowels so each syllable has at least one vowel.

---

1. p__mpk__n → Picture is a pumpkin
Word: pumpkin
Syllables: pump-kin → both have vowels (u and i)
So: pumpkin

2. __c__rn → Picture is an acorn
Word: acorn
Syllables: a-corn → ‘a’ and ‘o’ are vowels
So: acorn

3. c__rr__t → Picture is a carrot
Word: carrot
Syllables: car-rot → ‘a’ and ‘o’
So: carrot

4. j__ck__t → Picture is a jacket
Word: jacket
Syllables: jack-et → ‘a’ and ‘e’
So: jacket

5. s__ls__ → Picture is salsa (in a bowl with chips)
Word: salsa
Syllables: sal-sa → ‘a’ and ‘a’
So: salsa

6. z__br__ → Picture is a zebra
Word: zebra
Syllables: ze-bra → ‘e’ and ‘a’
So: zebra

7. cl__v__r → Picture is a clover (shamrock)
Word: clover
Syllables: clo-ver → ‘o’ and ‘e’
So: clover

8. __v__c__d__ → Picture is avocado (cut open with dip)
Word: avocado
Syllables: a-vo-ca-do → all syllables have vowels: a, o, a, o
Let’s match the blanks: __ v __ c __ d __
That’s 8 letters: a v o c a d o → but we have 7 blanks? Wait — let’s count:

The blank pattern is: __ v __ c __ d __ → that’s 7 positions, but “avocado” is 7 letters:
a - v - o - c - a - d - o → yes!

So:
Position 1: a
Position 2: v (given)
Position 3: o
Position 4: c (given)
Position 5: a
Position 6: d (given)
Position 7: o

So: avocado

Wait — the blank is written as: __v__c__d__ → which implies 7 characters total, with v, c, d fixed.

So filling:
First blank: a
Second blank (after v): o
Third blank (after c): a
Fourth blank (after d): o

Yes → avocado

Perfect.

Now let’s list all answers clearly:

1. pumpkin → pumpkin
2. acorn → acorn
3. carrot → carrot
4. jacket → jacket
5. salsa → salsa
6. zebra → zebra
7. clover → clover
8. avocado → avocado

All words now have vowels in every syllable.

Final Answer:
pumpkin → pu mpki n → actually, better to write the filled version directly:

Filled words:

1. p u m p k i n → pumpkin
2. a c o r n → acorn
3. c a r r o t → carrot
4. j a c k e t → jacket
5. s a l s a → salsa
6. z e b r a → zebra
7. c l o v e r → clover
8. a v o c a d o → avocado

But since the task is to fill in the blanks, here’s exactly what goes in each blank space:

For:
p__mpk__n → u, i
__c__rn → a, o
c__rr__t → a, o
j__ck__t → a, e
s__ls__ → a, a
z__br__ → e, a
cl__v__r → o, e
__v__c__d__ → a, o, a, o

So final answer should be presented as the completed words or the filled blanks? Since it says “fill in the missing vowels”, and the format shows underscores, I think listing the full corrected words is clearest for a student.

But to match the worksheet style, perhaps just write the letters that go in the blanks in order.

Actually, looking again — the user probably expects the full spelled-out words with vowels filled in.

Since the instruction is “Fill in the missing vowels”, and the blanks are shown, the best way is to provide the complete correct spelling for each.

Final Answer:
pumpkin, acorn, carrot, jacket, salsa, zebra, clover, avocado

But wait — let me double-check “salsa” — is it two syllables? Yes: sal-sa → both have ‘a’. Good.

“Avocado” — four syllables: a-vo-ca-do → all have vowels. Perfect.

All good.

Final Answer:
pumpkin
acorn
carrot
jacket
salsa
zebra
clover
avocado
