A line of text at the top of the painting reads: “Use the picture clue to complete the word. Write the word on the line.” Below the text there are realistic illustrations of four objects: a duck, a chain, a flat piglike face, and a cloud. To the left of each object is an incomplete word with a line where the vowels could be. For example: “d_ck.” At the bottom of the canvas a sentence reads: “Can you think of any more vowels?”
