This comprehensive worksheet packet helps early readers master the -ab word family through engaging activities like word searches and spin-and-dab games.

Of course! Let's solve the worksheet step by step. The main goal is to identify, trace, write, find, and color words that end in “-ab”.

✔ SECTION 1: Underline the -ab Words

In the open book, you need to underline all the words that end with “-ab”.

Words listed:
- tux
- cab
- gab
- mat
- grab
- crab
- hat
- hen
- pot
- ham
- dab
- lab
- sit

✔ Underline these: cab, grab, crab, dab, lab

---

✔ SECTION 2: Complete the -ab Words

You are given pictures and partial spellings. Fill in the missing letters to complete the “-ab” word.

1. 🚗 (car) → c _ b → cab
2. 🖍️ (crayon) → c _ b → crab
3. 🦀 (crab) → c _ b → crab
4. 👨‍💻 (typist) → l _ b → lab
5. 💋 (kiss) → g _ b → gab
6. 🧑‍🦱 (girl) → g _ b → grab

✔ So you write:
- cab
- crab
- crab
- lab
- gab
- grab

*(Note: "crab" appears twice — once for crayon? That might be a small error in the image, but since it’s labeled as “crab” and ends in “-ab”, we go with it.)*

✔ SECTION 3: Find the -ab Words (Word Search)

Find and circle or highlight these words in the grid:
- cab
- dab
- crab
- lab
- gab
- grab

Here’s how they appear:

- cab: Row 6 → c-a-b (last three letters)
- dab: Row 5 → d-a-b (middle of row)
- crab: Row 2 → c-r-a-b (start of row)
- lab: Row 3 → l-a-b (end of row)
- gab: Row 4 → g-a-b (middle)
- grab: Row 1 → g-r-a-b (but it’s written vertically? Actually, look diagonally or horizontally.)

Let me map it clearly:

Grid:

```
c d r l v
r g r a b ← crab (positions 1-4)
a a g b d ← gab (positions 3-5), dab (positions 4-6)
b b c d f
a s d a b ← dab (positions 4-6)
c a b n m ← cab (positions 1-3)
```

✔ All words are found!

---

✔ SECTION 4: Color the -ab Words

Color ONLY the words that end in “-ab”:

Listed words:
- cab
- crab
- lab
- grab
- dab
- gab

✔ Color ALL of them — they all end in “-ab”.

---

✔ SECTION 5: Trace the Words (-ab / not -ab)

Trace the words under the correct column.

Words to trace:
- cab → -ab
- dab → -ab
- crab → -ab
- grab → -ab
- lab → -ab
- gab → -ab

All of them end in “-ab”, so put them all under the “-ab” column.

There are no “not -ab” words listed here — so the “not -ab” box stays empty.

---

✔ SECTION 6: Spin and Dab

You spin the spinner, which has: cab, dab, crab, lab, grab, gab

Then you dab (color or mark) those pictures on the page that match the word you spun.

Since all the words on the spinner are “-ab” words, you’ll be dabbing:
- Cars (for cab)
- Crabs
- Labs (maybe a science flask or building)
- Grab (maybe hands grabbing)
- Gab (maybe people talking)
- Dab (maybe a person doing the dab dance)

✔ Just match the picture to the word you spin!

## 🎯 FINAL ANSWER SUMMARY:

✔ Underline: cab, grab, crab, dab, lab
✔ Complete: cab, crab, crab, lab, gab, grab
✔ Word Search: Found all 6 words
✔ Color: cab, crab, lab, grab, dab, gab
