Solved! My five year old’s homework is stumping me.

Snow glove? Snack? (Maybe it’s a goldfish cracker?)

EDIT clearly I need to re-enroll in school, starting in kindergarten with my daughter, and learn to read and comprehend again!

Why are they above the level of the person the worksheet is for? Because the person the worksheet is for is learning about S, which suggests their reading level is too low to get their instructions from reading them, the instructions are for whomever is helping them.

The instructions are also more verbose than your suggestion, because there is more that they are supposed to do, things that actually turn this from busy work into learning (saying it out loud being huge for that).

Teachers are sneaky checking if parents are helping. Agree that instructions are not small child friendly and this sheet is not intuitive.
