What is inside

  • 12 family pages: -at, -an, -ap, -ig, -og, -ug, -op, -et, -en, -ell, -ock and -ake.
  • Each family page has a word house, four words to trace, a matching activity, word building and a sentence to read with an adult.
  • A cut-and-sort activity and roll-and-read game.
  • Two answer pages for adults.

How to use

For ages 4-6 with adult support. Start with the short vowel families; save -ell, -ock and -ake for later. The last group includes longer words and the silent-e pattern. Some pages have a picture word and others have a reading buddy; these are not picture-naming worksheets. Print on US Letter at 100%, or use Fit to page for A4. Pictures are in color; no separate black-and-white edition is included. An adult should supervise cutting.

Keep practicing with pre-k sight words, kindergarten sight words and alphabet tracing.
