Short Vowel A Word Family Worksheets

There are so many different ways to teach your children how to read. Some think that phonics are not effective while others have different opinions. Hey! It is okay. There is no one right way to teach your children something. Every child is different and it is good to experiment and try out different things to find out what works best for your child.

From my years of teaching, I have seen children who just magically start reading book, some as early as 3 year old, some through phonics, word games, etc.

Word families had helped me when it comes to helping beginner readers. So, today I am sharing a set of short vowel a word family worksheets. These simple written activities are perfect for revision after you have explored the word families with your kids through games and fun activities. You can find a great list of ideas from ICanTeachMyChild's 30+ Hands On Word Family Activities and of course on Pinterest (Every teacher's best friend).

This set includes eight worksheets and activities on word families -at, -ag, -ap, and -an. You will find links to the download page as well as free sample pages at the bottom of this page.

• Four simple fill in the missing letters worksheets, ideal for introduction for word families -at, -ap, -an, -ag.

• Another four different activities of various layouts, suitable for revision after your children are very familiar with the word families

This set is great if you are currently doing a theme on fruits and would like numeracy resources to complement your theme. You will find download link to the fruits matching worksheets set as well as link to free sample pages at the bottom of this page.

Children learn to identify simple relationships through matching activities as they observe and recognise similarities of things in the environment. Matching activities also helps to develop children's logical thinking abilities, a foundation to help them understand more complex numeral and other mathematical concepts later on.

There are many different components of matching concepts and this fruit matching set includes six different worksheets and activities that cover different concepts, namely:

• Matching identical objects

• Identifying identical objects in a group of five items

• Matching objects of the same size

• Matching by two attributes

This set is perfect for pre-k to kindergarten level. You can use the matching worksheets and activity sheets as revision or to reinforce the concept after you have let your children practice matching with real fruits and picture cards. Always make sure that your children have had plenty of practice matching with concrete objects and pictures before doing these worksheets and activities with them.

When you download this numeracy set, you will receive six matching worksheets of varying level of difficulties.

• A simple matching activity suitable for pre-k class to practice matching identical objects.

• A matching activity for the different form of apple fruit. This activity sheet is a little bit more complex as some of the pictures maybe slightly similar. It is suitable for both pre-k or kindergarten class.

• An activity for identifying same objects in a group. This matching activity is great for your children to practice their observational skills as they are required to observe and identify the fruits that are the same in a row of five fruits.

• An activity for matching strawberries that are of the same size. This worksheet require children to observe and compare the strawberries of different sizes to find the right match. A worksheet that I think is more suitable for kindergarten class but it also depends on your children's ability, so it may be suitable for pre-k children too! After all, you know your students the best ;).

• 2 worksheets that also involve matching fruits of the same size but are a little bit more complex than the previous one. These worksheets require children to match by two attributes, types of fruits as well as the size. Great for kindergarten level.

These worksheets and activities are created based on the Singapore's math / numeracy curriculum framework for Kindergarten. The fruits matching worksheets are additional resources that you can use to help achieve the learning goal to help children recognise and use simple relationships through match identical objects (fruits), identifying identical objects in a group, matching by size as well as matching by two attributes.

However, these worksheets and activities are suitable not only for preschoolers from Singapore but for anyone who are introducing or teaching matching concepts to their preschoolers from any other parts of the world! Language may be different but math and numeracy is pretty much the same anywhere!

Preschool Shapes Matching Worksheets and Activities

Matching is a very important basic early math skill for preschoolers. Through matching, children learn to identify simple relationships as they learn to recognise similarities of things or objects in the environment. It also helps children to develop their logical thinking abilities, a foundation to help them understand more complex numeral and other mathematical concepts later on.

There are many different components of matching concepts such as matching shapes, patterns, identical objects, as well as matching objects based on different qualities like size, textures and functions (e.g. shoes and socks, fork and spoon, etc.)

The best way to introduce matching to your toddlers is through daily life experiences as they explore the environment and observe similarities or differences in things around them such as flowers of the same color, identical cups, blocks of the same size or colors, etc.

It is best to let your children first practice matching concrete objects such as matching fruits, leaf, balls, shoes, socks, animal toys, cutleries, cloth of different patterns, colored pebbles, and many more! After matching with concrete objects, you can then let your children match pictures and print outs. You can find a lot of ideas on hands-on matching activities on Pinterest.

I have created a set of high quality shapes matching worksheets that you can use to review the concept with your children or use them as additional practice.

When you download this shapes matching set you will receive nine worksheets of different layouts and level of difficulties to give you more choices. You can pick and choose the activities that are more suitable for your children's abilities. Included in the set are:

• 3 classic matching worksheets on the different geometrical shapes like circle, square, triangle, rectangle, oval, diamond, pentagon, hexagon, octagon and trapezium / trapezoid and the different three-dimensional (solid) shapes like sphere, cone, cylinder, cube, cuboid / rectangular prism and pyramid.

• Another variation of matching worksheets. These are slightly more complex than the ones above as the shapes are placed randomly and are not in a straight line.

• 3 worksheets to help children practice their observational skills to identify two identical shapes in a group of four or five shapes

These worksheets and activities are created based on the Singapore's math / numeracy curriculum framework for Kindergarten. The shapes matching worksheets in the set can be used to help achieve the learning goal to help children recognise and use simple relationships and the learning objective to match identical shapes.
