This beginner worksheet introduces Grade 1 students to rhyming words using the short-vowel word families -at, -ig, and -ug. Children trace six family words (cat, hat, big, dig, bug, hug), fill in four sentences with the rhyming partner, and answer three true-or-false questions about shared endings. The sheet builds early phonemic awareness by asking students to listen for the ending sound, not just the starting letter, which is the foundation of all word-family reading.
