Family Words Worksheet: Matching and Picture Association
Children ages 4-5 build vocabulary and reading recognition around family-member words — like mom, dad, sister, or brother — by first identifying the correct word for a picture, then matching printed words to pictures through cutting and pasting. Because family vocabulary is deeply familiar and emotionally meaningful, it's an especially effective category for anchoring new sight words in a child's memory.

How to use this worksheet
Look at each picture together and say who it shows, then read the word choices aloud and have your child tick the one that matches. Next, help your child cut out the small picture cards at the bottom of the page, and read each family word in the boxes together before your child glues the matching picture into place. Go one word at a time rather than cutting everything out first, so your child stays connected to each match as they make it.
