And word family worksheet

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!

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

-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.

-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.

-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.

-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!

If it feels like there are too many sheets to print out, I also prepared some more sheets that are designed specifically for reading. These flashcards will work well if you have many students and not enough materials : )

I’ve recently started to design printable word families worksheets for my English teaching practice. Looking at 154 word family flashcards I created last year, I understand that it’s going to be a really long work. It’s hard to even predict how much time it will take to design worksheets for all the word families featured in the flashcards. So I decided to publish the worksheets as soon as I design them and give them away to my fellow teachers for free. So you are welcome to download a free PDF file in this and all my future blog posts dedicated to this series of printable word families worksheets and activities. My first post features the at word family worksheets. They are good for learning simple short a words in elementary school and even kindergarten. I hope these child-appealing printables will prove to be useful for your English lessons.

Word families are a group of words with a similar pattern and are the first step in reading and learning vocabulary. There are three main categories of word families ending sound, starting sound, and middle sound. Word families represent groups of letters with the same sound. These words help children identify the sound and word patterns as they learn to read and write. Wordlist worksheets help children develop phonological awareness, reading, and spelling skills. Here is a series of reading, writing, phonics, and activity worksheets for at, ap, aw, and ab word families.
