Picture Hunt

Worksheet Description

This worksheet introduces students to several illustrated objects and asks them to identify which words belong to the “um” word family. Children look closely at pictures such as a drum, gum, and mum and then color only the words that share the same ending sound. Some images act as distractors so learners must carefully evaluate each option before choosing. This activity encourages students to connect visual cues with phonics patterns. By identifying the correct words, students strengthen their recognition of the “um” sound.

Completing this worksheet strengthens early phonics awareness and word-family recognition. Students practice identifying sound patterns within words while also improving visual discrimination skills. The coloring component encourages engagement and reinforces correct choices through a hands-on approach. As learners repeatedly see and select the same sound pattern, they build stronger decoding skills that support early reading development.
