Fun 'un' Family Words Worksheet for Kids
Reading and matching words from the 'un' family, like fun, run, and sun, teaches children ages 4-6 to recognize a shared spelling pattern and use it to decode new words more quickly. Because this word family relies on consistent rhyming sounds, practicing it strengthens the connection between letter patterns and pronunciation that underlies early reading fluency.

How to use this worksheet
Read the first 'un' family word aloud together, stretching out the sounds so your child hears how it's built. Have them look at the picture choices and decide which one matches the word's meaning. Guide them to circle the correct matching picture, then move on to the next word and repeat the process. Once every word has been matched, go back through the page and read all the 'un' words together as a final rhyming check.
