Check out our collection of word family worksheets. Word families are sets of words that have a common pattern in the letters and sound. (For example, the -ock word family contains the words clock, rock, block and sock.) We are just starting to organize and post all of these and will soon have over 50 different word families with different worksheets for each.

Sample Worksheet Images
If you want to teach your children how to read then word families are a good place to start. I have designed a large set of word family worksheets, flashcards, and even a free workbook for you to download.
The word family materials included can be used as worksheets or as flashcards by laminating them and cutting them out. I have also designed some simple sentences using the CVC words which means after children can read the word families, they can practice reading them in sentences!
Word Families Workbook
DOWNLOAD
I have made a printable workbook that can be used as a structured way to improve your child’s reading. The workbook contains word family CVC sentences that are easy to read. The word family workbook is a great resource to use at home or at your kindergarten!
To make the word family book even more useful in the classroom, I have included the CVC word family sentences as a separate download. The idea is to print out the CVC sentences and practice reading them as a group.
After reading the CVC sentences, children can practice writing them too by copying the sentences in the workbook. Each time you do a new sentence, you can use the book to review the word family sentences! Once children finish the book, they can enjoy reading it to their parents!
CVC Sentences PDF DOWNLOAD HERE!
If the workbook is too difficult, I recommend practicing the word family sheets below. you can use the sheets for practicing reading each of the word families.
-ad, -ag, -am, -an, -ap, -at, -ack word family worksheets PDF
Before using this set of ‘a’ word families, make sure your child can already recognize and sound out the individual letter phonemes. If your child is still having trouble, go back to practicing basic phonics.
I have various flashcard sets available for FREE including colorful Aa-Zz cards, A- Z animal cards, and also simple letter flashcards. You’ll also find various phonics sheets on the site too! Learning how to read can take a while, so be sure not to rush : )
I have organized these CVC words in alphabetical order, so reference the downloadable word family workbook if you want to see exactly where you should start in terms of teaching order. I would avoid teaching ‘-ack’ until all 3 letter words are finished.
| ad | ag | am | an | ap | at | ack |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| bad | bag | am | ban | bap | bat | back |
| dad | rag | bam | can | cap | cat | hack |
| had | tag | dam | fan | gap | fat | lack |
| lad | wag | ham | man | lap | hat | pack |
| mad | jam | nan | map | mat | rack | |
| pad | Sam | pan | nap | pat | sack | |
| rad | Pam | ran | rap | rat | tack | |
| sad | ram | tan | tap | sat | ||
| tad | yam | van | zap | vat |
-ed, -en, -et, -eck, -ell, -est word family worksheets PDF
Here are all the CVC word family worksheets containing ‘e’. Just like the previous word family, try to avoid teaching the 4 letter words until later. You will notice that names like ‘Ben’ are capitalized. I recommend laminating the worksheets so that they can be traced and reused.
| ed | en | et | eck | ell | est |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| bed | Ben | bet | deck | bell | best |
| fed | den | get | neck | dell | jest |
| led | hen | jet | fell | nest | |
| red | Ken | let | hell | pest | |
| Ted | men | met | sell | rest | |
| Pen | net | tell | test | ||
| Ten | pet | well | vest | ||
| yen | vet | yell | west | ||
| wet | zest |
-ig, -ip, -it, -in, – ip, -it word family worksheets PDF
With the ‘i’ word family worksheets, I have not included any 4 letter words. Please let me know if you would like some and I can add to this collection as time goes on. Remember that children don’t have to know all of the words, they just need to learn the skill of decoding.
| ig | in | ip | it |
|---|---|---|---|
| big | in | dip | bit |
| dig | bin | hip | fit |
| fig | kin | kip | hit |
| pig | pin | lip | kit |
| rig | sin | pip | lit |
| wig | tin | rip | pit |
| win | sip | sit | |
| tip | wit | ||
| zip | zit |
-ob, -og, -ot word family worksheets PDF
Here are the ‘o’ CVC words. Feel free to teach only the easier words from the word family. If I was to teach this word family to younger students, I would probably choose Bob, dog, and pot. When discussing the meaning of words, its always easier to use nouns.
| ob | og | ot |
|---|---|---|
| bob | bog | cot |
| cob | cog | dot |
| fob | dog | got |
| hob | fog | hot |
| job | hog | jot |
| lob | jog | lot |
| mob | log | not |
| rob | pot | |
| yob | rot |
-ub, -ug, -un, -ut, -uck, -ump word family worksheets PDF
Finally, we have the ‘u’ word families. Remember with all of these flashcards and materials, you don’t have to do them all in order for your child to read. If a student can read at a reasonable speed, on around 70 percent of the 3 letter CVC word, then you can start using the word family workbook!
| ub | ug | un | ut | uck | ump |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cub | bug | bun | but | buck | bump |
| dub | dug | fun | cut | duck | dump |
| hub | hug | gun | gut | luck | hump |
| pub | jug | hun | hut | muck | jump |
| rub | mug | nun | put | puck | lump |
| sub | pug | pun | suck | pump | |
| tub | rug | run | tuck | rump | |
| tug | yuck |

Alphabet Animals Reading Skills
Word families are a fun and important way to help children learn to read and write! To be successful readers, children need to know how to rhyme as well as how to read and write those rhymes. Fortunately, here at 4 Kinder Teachers, we have created some fun and engaging word family worksheets and activities to make it easy for you.
As a kindergarten teacher and a mom, I am the proud owner of multiple copies of Cat in the Hat, Hop on Pop, Go Dog Go, One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish, Green Eggs and Ham, and… well, you get the picture. Thanks to Dr. Seuss (and diligent parents and teachers like you), our children can hear and often produce rhyming words, but reading and writing them can be a more difficult task. (To learn more about rhyming activities for kindergarten and other phonemic awareness activities, check out our Phonemic Awareness Activities.)
What is a Word Family?
A word family is a group of words that contain the same letter combination, such as cat, hat, bat, rat, mat, pat, chat. You may have noticed that they also rhyme; Dr. Seuss loved word families! Word families help children learn to read and write commonly used spelling patterns. They can help children learn to segment and blend onset and rime such as /c/ /at/, /cat/. When I taught my kindergarten students how to read, one very important reading strategy was chunking. Chunking is when students use a part of a word they already know to figure out the rest of the word (ie quacking – if students know the ack chunk and the ing chunk, they can blend the chunks together (/qu/ /ack/ /ing/) and read the word quacking.) There are many different word families, but here are a few examples I used when teaching word families in kindergarten.
- at word family: cat, bat, mat, sat, rat, pat, fat, hat, chat
- an word family: pan, ran, man, fan, van, can, plan, ban
- ack word family: black, rack, quack, pack, sack, stack, back, crack
- ing word family: wing, sing, ring, thing, king, sting, swing, bring
- et word family: jet, wet, set, pet, bet, get, vet, met, net
- og word family: dog, hog, log, frog, bog, smog, cog, fog
- ug word family: hug, mug, rug, jug, bug, tug, dug, slug, plug
- am word family: ram, ham, clam, jam, Sam, yam, dam, slam
- ake word family: rake, make, fake, take, bake, cake, wake, snake, lake
