Ap Family Worksheet: Cut and Paste the Correct Letter!
This hands-on version of 'ap' word family practice has children ages 4-5 cut out individual letters and paste the correct one to complete each word, adding a fine motor and problem-solving layer to the phonics work of identifying missing letters in cap, map, nap, and similar words. Physically selecting and placing the right letter reinforces the connection between sound and written symbol more actively than writing alone.
