Am Words Worksheet: Read, Match, and Fill-in the Blanks!
This worksheet builds phonics skills within the 'am' word family — words like 'ham,' 'jam,' and 'Sam' — by having children read words aloud, match them to pictures, and fill in missing letters to complete them. For four- and five-year-olds, working within a single rime family like '-am' helps children generalize a decoding pattern they can apply to many new words, rather than sounding out every word from scratch.

How to use this worksheet
First, read the 'am' family words on the page aloud together, sounding out each one slowly. Then, have your child look at the pictures and draw a line matching each word to the picture it describes. Finally, look at the words with missing letters and have your child figure out which letter completes each one, writing it into the blank space. Reread each completed word together as a final check.
