Family Words Cut and Paste Worksheet for Early Readers

How to use this worksheet

Read the first word on the page slowly together, sounding out each letter and blending them into the full word. Have your child look at the picture cut-outs at the bottom and find the one that matches what the word means. Guide them to cut that picture out carefully along its edges. Have them glue the picture into the box beside the matching word, then repeat this read-find-cut-glue sequence for each remaining word on the page.
