About this resource
Description
Word families show young readers that one small chunk of letters can build many words. This ag word family worksheet gives first graders practice reading and spelling words that end in -ag, such as bag, flag, wag and drag. Once children spot the -ag chunk, they only need to blend the first sound or blend to read a brand new word.
The page opens with a word bank of eight -ag words. Students read six short sentences, choose the word that makes sense, and write it in the box. Two words in the bank are extra, so children must read each sentence with care instead of guessing. A cheerful picture of a red flag on a tall pole ties the page to one of the sentences. Use the ag word family worksheet in a phonics center, as morning work, or for homework after a word family lesson.
What’s Included
- One printable ag word family worksheet (1st Grade)
- A word bank of eight -ag words, including blends like br, dr, fl and sn
- Six fill-in-the-blank sentences with answer boxes
- A complete answer key on the second page
Why It Helps Kids
First, reading words in a family trains children to notice patterns, which speeds up decoding. Second, using each word in a sentence builds meaning as well as sound, so students learn to check that a word makes sense. Third, the two extra words in the bank add a small challenge that keeps careful readers thinking.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Before the page, write -ag on a whiteboard and let children add letter cards to make tag, rag and nag. After the page, ask students to write their own sentence with brag or snag, the two words left in the bank. This first grade word families worksheet pairs well with the other short a families for a quick weekly review.
