Word Family Worksheets & Printables
Here you find a collection of word families worksheets for elementary school students. They are great for practicing reading comprehension, spelling, and writing and will be an excellent addition to your lesson!
For young learners, begin with simple word families such as “at” and “ot” where the vowel sounds are easier to hear.
Co-create anchor charts for each word family; consider using a separate color or highlighting the common letter pattern in each word.
Progress to creating word families with vowel sounds that may not be as easily recognized, such as “an” and “am”.
Support the concept of word families by incorporating rhyming activities into your program; for example, use poems, nursery rhymes, and books and have students chime in during rhyming parts.
For older students, focus on more complex letter patterns and create word families for sounds such as “oat” and “ain”.
Beginning readers and writers can increase their repertoire of known words through their knowledge of word families (e.g., if you know “cat,” you also know “hat”).
Word families can help students use the reading strategy of chunking; instead of sounding out words letter by letter, they can “chunk” letters together that combine to make a sound (e.g., instead of sounding out ‘c-a-t’ students can say ‘c-at’); this strategy helps students sound out words more quickly and promotes fluency.
Knowledge of word families can support students in both their reading and writing.
