Family Words Worksheet: Picture Matching and Word Recognition
This worksheet gives children ages 4-6 another round of practice recognizing family-member vocabulary words, reinforcing the connection between a printed word and the picture it names through both a tick-the-answer step and a cut-and-paste matching step. Repeating this pairing across two different formats on one page helps move these words from recognition with support toward more independent reading.

How to use this worksheet
Look at each picture together and read the available word choices aloud, having your child tick the one that correctly names the family member shown. Then move to the cutting section — read each printed word in the boxes together, have your child cut out the matching small picture, and glue it next to the correct word. Encourage your child to check their own work by pointing to the picture and saying the word aloud after each match.
Materials needed
- Pencil
- Scissors
- Glue or Tape
Extension activities
- 1Have your child write one of the family words independently on a separate sheet of paper.
- 2Encourage your child to find other words that rhyme with one of the family words, like 'mom' and 'pom.'
- 3Make a set of family word cards and practice reading them in a quick daily routine.
- 4Ask your child to use each family word in a simple spoken sentence about their own family.

Match the Letter: N, O, P Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5

Zen the Hen CVC Word Worksheet for Early Readers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet uses a short story about 'Zen the Hen' to give children ages 3-5 practice reading and completing CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant) words, one of the earliest and most important word patterns in learning to read. Filling in missing CVC words within a story context, rather than in isolation, helps children see how decoding skills apply to real reading, building both phonics and comprehension together.
Flower Power Subtraction Worksheet for Kids
Ages 4-6 · Pre-K–KindergartenAges 4-6 · Reception–Year 1Ages 4-6 · LKG–UKGAges 4-6
This worksheet gives children ages 4-6 hands-on subtraction practice using a flower-themed counting context, asking them to count pictured objects, subtract a given amount, and write the difference in a circle. The visual, countable format helps make subtraction concrete rather than abstract, reinforcing that 'taking away' reduces a group's total in a way children can see and verify by recounting.
Thumb Art Tree Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This thumbprint craft helps children ages 3-5 develop fine motor control and hand strength as they press their thumb repeatedly onto paper to create the leaves of a tree, a controlled, repetitive motion that's different from typical crayon coloring. It also introduces early art concepts like composition and texture, since the finished tree's fullness depends on how many thumbprints your child adds and where they place them.
Sight Word Coloring Fun: 'am', 'has', 'had', and 'have' Worksheet
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 build automatic recognition of four common sight words — am, has, had, and have — words that appear so frequently in early reading that sounding them out every time would slow a beginning reader down. Coloring by a color key also reinforces visual discrimination, since children must distinguish between similar-looking short words rather than relying on pictures.
Months of the Year Cut and Paste Worksheet for Kids
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
Cutting out the months of the year and gluing them in the correct order builds sequencing skills and calendar vocabulary for children ages 3-5, an early step toward understanding how time is organized across a year.
Read and Match: Fun Reading Worksheet for Preschoolers
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
Reading a simple sentence and matching it to its corresponding picture builds early reading comprehension for children ages 3-5, teaching them that written words carry meaning that connects to real images and ideas.
Transportation Fun: Identify Land, Water, and Air Vehicles!
Ages 3-5 · Preschool–Pre-KAges 3-5 · Nursery–ReceptionAges 3-5 · Nursery–LKGAges 3-5
This worksheet helps children ages 3-5 classify different vehicles by where they travel — land, water, or air — building early categorization skills alongside transportation vocabulary. Writing the correct letter (L, W, or A) for each picture requires children to think about a vehicle's purpose and environment, not just recognize what it is, adding a layer of reasoning beyond simple naming.

Reading a simple CVC word and matching it to its picture teaches children ages 4-6 to blend individual sounds into a whole word and then connect that word to its meaning, a core decoding skill for early readers. Because CVC words follow a consistent consonant-vowel-consonant pattern, practicing them builds a reliable phonics foundation that transfers to reading many other simple words.

Working with letters and numbers side by side reinforces that both are symbols that carry specific meaning and can be found, matched, and recorded.
