Rhyming Words & Word Families Medium Sheet 3 challenges Grade 1 students with three rhyme families at once: -ay, -eat, and -eep. Nine fill-in sentences practice words like day, play, eat, seat, sleep, and keep in kid-friendly contexts. A four-pair matching activity asks children to link each rime to a word that belongs to it. This sheet strengthens rhyme recognition and early phonics decoding skills.
