What are the Word Family Worksheets
We offer a basic short vowel word family worksheet set that coincides perfectly with our short vowel word family sentences worksheet set. These activity sheets encourage your child to create new words while practicing common word endings. Guide your child to make words using various beginning letter sounds, digraphs, and blends. There are approximately 7-8 sheets in each set.
See how many words your child can think of or use a teaching tool to help. It can be fun too making words that don’t really make sense! So, if your student writes a silly word like “mig,” don’t tell them they are wrong, help them to sound it out. As long as your student is practicing their phonic sounds… then have fun! Download each set of short vowel Word Family Worksheets for a total of 35 activity sheets! You can download the corresponding short vowel word family sentences set here!
How to use the Word Family Worksheets
You may want to consider using a teaching tool like these word family paint chips. I made these years ago and have kept them in our school closet for whenever the next student needs them. They are practical, effective, and free to make! You can choose to practice only CVC words with this activity or you can expand your child’s learning to include digraphs and blends. Another teaching tool that helps is making your own word slides. We have made our own before, but prefer the paint chips since they can be easily stored.
