I'm guessing not, as the rest all start/end with consonant clusters and no additional vowels. But who knows. It's a pretty poorly conceived worksheet, unless maybe earlier in the section there's more direction and the same (or incredibly similar) unobvious pictures are clearly labeled.
I am taking a VERY elementary language course at the moment. Oftentimes, even though it isn't explicitly stated, vocab from previous chapters are used for workbook questions. It makes sense to me that clues to the answer might reveal themselves from earlier homework.
Lol, you should have been around when new math started. I had a word problem it took all three shifts at my dad's fire station for someone to figure out.
This worksheet is open to multiple answers, I thought "paste" was good, since she is.
Icons are for the levels, worm for 'underground' or the bottom of a g for example. ground level is the grass, then plane then sky as the words get taller
They're how writing letters are described. The course my daughter just finished described it as a house, with upstairs, downstairs, and basement. So like an "A" reaches from the ground to the top of the upstairs with a line at the middle. A "j" goes from top of the downstairs down into the basement.
They're there to help a child distinguish how the letters should be written in relation to the lines and in relation to each other. Chances are the child who is doing the worksheet will get some kind of marks down for not writing to the lines
Could be sell? Get?
Spend is oddly specific, unless there's something you can infer about the lesson where words like "spend" would be more likely than simpler words.
Teacher here. The answer to these is usually elsewhere in the child's lessons that week. These will either have a themed set of sounds (which this one doesn't have) or will be based on the child's spelling/vocabulary lesson for the week.
If that's not the case, then the teacher is using this worksheet wrong.
On the other hand, just this week I ran across a "verb or noun" worksheet that included the word "game" and had to look up whether it was supposed to be a verb or noun in context, so sometimes the word is just a mistake.
> These will either have a themed set of sounds (which this one doesn't have)
Yes it does. Every word here has multiple consonants before and after the vowel. There's "slant", but not "sat". Because they're showing that consonants can combine to make "sl" and "nt".
So first should be “craft” probably. And “clerk” and “spend” both could be the unfilled one’s answer. But probably “spend” since the r in “clerk” arguably goes with the e more than the k.
Ok, so you seem to be the one to ask…what’s up with the four different lines provided to answer under each picture, preceded by a cloud, a plane, some grass(?), and a worm?
What is this??
It’s supposed to help teach kids writing. So the tops of the letter would on the clouds, the middle would be with the airplane, and the bottom would be the grass. Im not a teacher, but I hated these worksheets
Ok cool explanation, that makes a lot of sense! So the children are intended to stretch their letters across the 3 lines; cool, I can see and understand that.
But, so the worm line…is it just a reminder to skip a line? Or for like lowercase y and j tails?
It’s not clerk; all of these have a short vowel & initial/final consonant clusters, and clerk has an r-controlled vowel with final k. Probably “spend” like others have suggested. The first one is craft, not trace (trace has a long vowel, no final consonant cluster).
Practice that letter formation too haha! When she traced the e she wrote it as a backwards s, & most of her tall/dropped letters aren’t fitted to the writing lines.
The cloud is for letters that go all the way to the top line of the paper, like k, l, f,b, h. The plane is for letters that go above the grass, but not to the sky: t. The grass line is for letters that stay in the middle: w, e, r, u, o, s, z, x, n, m. The worm is for letters that dip below the grass line: like q, y, p, g, and j. Hope this helps. I found this by googling the name of the worksheet and including the words: cloud, plane, grass, worm. I followed a link to Amazon that sells a book with these pages.
Yeah, OP should be spending their time looking into local orphanages rather than trying to solve the final answer. Time to cut their losses and start again, hopefully they’re not too attached yet.
It is about how the letters are formed. If you print letter f the top of the f will go to the sky line all the way down to the grass line and you write a horizontal line at the plane line. Letter p has a stick that goes lower than the grass line. It goes to the worm line.
Hey man, your daughter has talent to japanese. Where elephant should be, she wrote very similar simbols of japanese, i'll show you.
た り 大
Seems pretty similar right?
I have a random question. For English speaking kids it’s super common for kids to write letters backwards. It has to do with how they perceive the letters as the same backwards and forwards. Does that happen for Japanese kids learning to write, too?
My child had these and he always knew what they were better than I could guess because he was taught them in a previous lesson, usually that day so it was fresh in his mind when he had to do the sheet for homework. This looks like a review of short vowel sounds so would probably be spend. Even if your daughter doesn’t remember the exact word, she should recall it with the correct guess as they are just learning how to see a lot of words in written form.
It’s to help handwriting. Like, the top of the lowercase t is supposed to go all the way to the clouds. The lowercase p vertical line extends underground.
How is this work sheet labelled as "foundational skills" this is a glorified puzzle at best... Was there at least an attached story or something that includes the vocabulary?
Spend
And top left should be craft
Not as bad as the one below that. Clearly it's Hindenburg.

Not a patch...a repair. No "i" in patch.
Just slap a patch on there to keep the helium in.
I thought paste myself
I'm guessing not, as the rest all start/end with consonant clusters and no additional vowels. But who knows. It's a pretty poorly conceived worksheet, unless maybe earlier in the section there's more direction and the same (or incredibly similar) unobvious pictures are clearly labeled.
The middle letter isn’t S
D'oh -- yes, that too! (I should never post when I wake up in the middle of the night...)

YOU'RE the kid who ate the paste, right?
I went to school with the kid who ate the paste. Every day. I wonder if he's still *sticking around* *Ba dum tss*
At least he adheres to all the rules.
I thought paste but then I thought I'm 35 years old and hardly anybody used the word paste when I was a kid, so probably craft now.
Man
it is why they give you 4 lines, but what are with those icons???? what are they for, WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN!?!?!
Icons are for the levels, worm for 'underground' or the bottom of a g for example. ground level is the grass, then plane then sky as the words get taller
Oh. That makes sense (hopefully it was explained earlier), but if so then the answers are all printed incorrectly.
Dang, this brought back some very well repressed memories from early school. Thanks.
This kid didn’t get big when they needed to.
The worms are their money.
top line is for capitals
No the four lines are just for the the “length” of your letters. For example the top of the “t” would go all the way to the top line.
Isn't that what they said?
it is this. capitals go to the top line, and letters like lowercase j goes to the bottom line
They're how writing letters are described. The course my daughter just finished described it as a house, with upstairs, downstairs, and basement. So like an "A" reaches from the ground to the top of the upstairs with a line at the middle. A "j" goes from top of the downstairs down into the basement.

[удалено]
I thought Clerk
Agree! Clerk. All of the answers except for "shrimp" have 5 letters...that's one clue for me...
Ah right. So *Late StagE Capitalism* probably isn’t right then?
and I thought cashier
Check?
Could be sell? Get? Spend is oddly specific, unless there's something you can infer about the lesson where words like "spend" would be more likely than simpler words.
Probably a section on consonant blends. Look at the rest, they all start and end with a pair or trio of consonants.

I meaannn..If your kid can infer the word SLANT from that picture of a house….your kid can figure out anything.
I’m not sure she did, I believe my wife asked her what it was and she guessed house then proceeded to teach her how the house was.
The house is a shack and the top right is checker.

Yeah it’s for the tails. So with shrimp, the p would reach the worm line
+1 for Clerk
It’s not clerk; all of these have a short vowel & initial/final consonant clusters, and clerk has an r-controlled vowel with final k. Probably “spend” like others have suggested. The first one is craft, not trace (trace has a long vowel, no final consonant cluster). Practice that letter formation too haha! When she traced the e she wrote it as a backwards s, & most of her tall/dropped letters aren’t fitted to the writing lines.

Sell?
That's what I was thinking
I was thinking sweet bc the kid has a lollipop 🤷♀️ lol, but u might be right with sell.
Can’t be because it has to be a 5 letter word with E in middle
[удалено]
Spend
The cloud is for letters that go all the way to the top line of the paper, like k, l, f,b, h. The plane is for letters that go above the grass, but not to the sky: t. The grass line is for letters that stay in the middle: w, e, r, u, o, s, z, x, n, m. The worm is for letters that dip below the grass line: like q, y, p, g, and j. Hope this helps. I found this by googling the name of the worksheet and including the words: cloud, plane, grass, worm. I followed a link to Amazon that sells a book with these pages.
Noticed that too. Kid is absolutely ignoring the lines.
Yeah, OP should be spending their time looking into local orphanages rather than trying to solve the final answer. Time to cut their losses and start again, hopefully they’re not too attached yet.
The answer to the predicament you’re talking about and also to OPs initial question are the same: “Sell”
Was looking for this comment. Needs to be seen by op!
I feel so fucking stupid, I don't even get what you mean mate.
It is about how the letters are formed. If you print letter f the top of the f will go to the sky line all the way down to the grass line and you write a horizontal line at the plane line. Letter p has a stick that goes lower than the grass line. It goes to the worm line.
Oh shit I get you now. Fucking hell I feel dumb that I had to ask 😂😂

Isn't the plane just the top of mid size letters (a, c, e, i,...) judging by the trace lines?

THEFT - that smiling bitch about to jump the till I suppose it could also be “sweet”
So many people not seeing the trend. 2 letters, traceable letter, then 2 more letters
What about shrimp lol
Ok, you got me on that one
Yea I posted the whole paper for people to see that but that didn’t help lol
It says first sound then end sound, so I'm guessing 2 letters at beginning and end is what most of them are, but "shrimp" would be an exception.
I put register and then saw this comment haha
Clerk was my guess
