Based on the analysis of the worksheet, here is the solution for filling in the missing "WH" or "W" sound for each word:
First Section: Fill in the missing sound
This section requires identifying the correct beginning sound for each partial word.
*
_ ale: The word is
whale. The missing sound is
wh.
*
_ at: The word is
what. The missing sound is
wh.
*
_ ip: The word is
whip. The missing sound is
wh.
*
_ ile: The word is
while. The missing sound is
wh.
*
_ en: The word is
when. The missing sound is
wh.
*
_ ole: The word is
whole. The missing sound is
wh.
*
_ et: The word is
wet. The missing sound is
w.
*
_ izz: The word is
whiz. The missing sound is
wh.
*
_ in: The word is
win. The missing sound is
w.
*
_ ag: The word is
whag (a less common word, but fits the pattern) or potentially a typo for "wag". Given the context of the worksheet focusing on the "wh" sound, it is likely intended to be
whag, making the missing sound
wh. However, "wag" is a more common word, which would require a "w". Based on the pattern of the other words, "whag" is the most consistent answer for this exercise.
Second Section: Write the missing sound
This section uses pictures to represent the words.
*
Picture of a wheel: The word is
wheel. The missing sound is
wh.
*
Picture of a whale: The word is
whale. The missing sound is
wh.
*
Picture of wheat: The word is
wheat. The missing sound is
wh.
*
Picture of an apple with the word "whole": The word is
whole. The missing sound is
wh.
*
Picture of a clock: The word is
when. The missing sound is
wh.
In summary, the vast majority of the words on this worksheet begin with the "wh" sound, with only two exceptions ("wet" and "win") that begin with a simple "w" sound. This exercise helps distinguish between these two initial sounds.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of wh worksheet for first grade.
