English for Kids Step by Step: Word Families Worksheets: At Words ... - Free Printable

This is a Word Families worksheet focusing on the “-at” word family. The goal is to:

1. Write the first letter that completes each “_at” word.
2. Connect each completed word to its matching picture.

---

Step-by-step Solution:

Let’s look at each picture and figure out what word it represents, starting with “_at”.

---

#### 1. Picture: Two people talking
→ This represents “chat” (to talk or have a conversation).
✔ First letter: C
→ So: Cat → Chat

---

#### 2. Picture: A cat
→ This is the word “cat”.
✔ First letter: C
→ So: Cat → Cat

*(Note: Both “chat” and “cat” start with C — but we need to match the correct word to the correct picture.)*

Wait — let’s check all pictures carefully.

Actually, looking again:

- The first picture (two people talking) = chat
- The second picture (a cat) = cat

So both start with C, but they are different words. That’s fine — the worksheet is teaching that multiple words can share the same ending.

But wait — there’s a problem: if two words start with the same letter, how do we distinguish? Let’s check the other pictures.

---

#### 3. Picture: A hat
→ This is “hat”.
✔ First letter: H
→ So: Hat → Hat

---

#### 4. Picture: A rat
→ This is “rat”.
✔ First letter: R
→ So: Rat → Rat

---

#### 5. Picture: A bat (the animal)
→ This is “bat”.
✔ First letter: B
→ So: Bat → Bat

---

#### 6. Picture: A mat (blue rug)
→ This is “mat”.
✔ First letter: M
→ So: Mat → Mat

---

Now, let’s assign each word to its picture correctly:

| Word | First Letter | Picture Description |
|------|--------------|---------------------|
| chat | C | Two people talking |
| cat | C | Cat |
| hat | H | Hat |
| rat | R | Rat |
| bat | B | Bat |
| mat | M | Mat |

---

Final Answer:

Fill in the blanks and connect as follows:

1. Cat → (connect to) Two people talking → *chat*
2. Cat → (connect to) Cat → *cat*
3. Hat → (connect to) Hat → *hat*
4. Rat → (connect to) Rat → *rat*
5. Bat → (connect to) Bat → *bat*
6. Mat → (connect to) Mat → *mat*

> 💡 Note: Even though “chat” and “cat” both start with “C”, they are different words and must be matched to their correct pictures. The worksheet is designed to teach that many words can end in “-at”, even if they start with the same letter.

Completed Worksheet:

```
C at → [two people talking] → chat
C at → [cat] → cat
H at → [hat] → hat
R at → [rat] → rat
