Spelling Worksheet 1 featuring fill-in-the-blank exercises for common words, designed for educational practice.

Let's solve the Spelling Worksheet 1 step by step.

The goal is to fill in the missing letters in each word so that it becomes a correct, common English word. There are 14 words in total — 7 on the left and 7 on the right.

✔ Left Column:

1. Pl_a_y → Already has "a" filled in.
→ Play

2. Hou_e → Missing one letter.
→ Common word: House

3. Day → No missing letters.
→ Day (already complete)

4. S_hool → Missing one letter.
→ School

5. Bo_k → Missing one letter.
→ Book

6. B_ll → Missing one letter.
→ Ball

7. Sist_r → Missing one letter.
→ Sister

---

✔ Right Column:

8. W_y → Missing one letter.
→ Why

9. Pe_ → Missing one letter.
→ Pen or Pea? But "Pe_" likely means Pen (common word).
However, “Pea” is also possible, but “Pen” fits better with context.
But wait — let’s consider:
- "Pea" → P-e-a → would be "Pe_" with 'a' missing → yes, possible
- But "Pen" → P-e-n → "Pe_" → could be "Pen"

But here, since it's Pe_, and only one blank, it could be either.
However, in most spelling contexts like this, Pen is more common.

But actually, looking at the pattern: all other words are common nouns or simple words.

Let’s go back — perhaps we should check for consistency.

Wait — another possibility: Pea? Yes, but “Pea” is less common than “Pen”.

But let's look at the next ones.

10. D_g → Missing one letter.
→ Dog

11. W_ter → Missing one letter.
→ Water

12. Pap_r → Missing one letter.
→ Paper

13. F_iend → Missing one letter.
→ Friend

14. C_air → Missing one letter.
→ Chair

Now let’s go back to Pe_ — which letter?

- If it's Pen, then the missing letter is n
- If it's Pea, then the missing letter is a

But in standard spelling worksheets, Pen is far more common than Pea in such patterns.

Also, notice that:
- All other blanks are single letters.
- The word Pe_ likely intends Pen.

But wait — is there a possibility of Pea? Possibly, but Pen makes more sense.

However, let's cross-check with the rest.

Wait — another idea: maybe it's Pep? But that's not a common noun.

No — Pen is best.

But hold on — Pe_ could be Pea, Pen, or even Pee — but Pee is informal.

But Pen is the most logical.

So, final answers:

🔍 Explanation:

Each word is a common English word, and the missing letter is typically a key phonetic or structural part of the word. For example:
- In House, the missing u is essential for pronunciation.
- In School, the c is silent but necessary for spelling.
- In Ball, the a gives the correct sound.
- In Why, the h is crucial.
- In Pen, the n completes the word.
- In Dog, the o is the vowel.
- In Water, the a is needed.
- In Paper, the e completes it.
- In Friend, the r is essential.
- In Chair, the h is required.

All these are basic vocabulary words suitable for early learners.
