Ar and At Word Family

Worksheet Description

This worksheet, titled “Ar or At?,” is designed to help students distinguish between the “ar” and “at” word families. It is a cut-and-paste activity that encourages children to sort images into the correct word family box based on the sounds they represent. The left box is labeled “ar words” and the right box “at words,” which students will fill by matching the pictures below to the corresponding phonetic group.

The lower portion of the worksheet features colorful illustrations that represent various “ar” or “at” words, such as a car, a cat, a hat, and a bat. Students are instructed to cut out these pictures and paste them into the box that corresponds to the word family they belong to. This hands-on activity not only aids in phonics and reading readiness by reinforcing the auditory distinctions between similar word endings but also supports fine motor skill development through the act of cutting and pasting. The worksheet is designed with clarity in mind, providing a straightforward and engaging task suitable for young learners beginning to navigate the basics of word patterns in the English language.
