MAP Worksheet | The AP Word Family - Free Printable

Absolutely! Let’s solve this worksheet step-by-step. This is a fun, interactive phonics activity focused on the “/ap/” word family — words that end with the “ap” sound like *map*, *nap*, *tap*, etc.

---

## ✔ STEP 1: Color it.
> Instruction: Color the picture of the map.

🔹 The image shows a map with mountains, rivers, and trees.
✔ Action: Color this picture however you like — maybe green for land, blue for water, brown for mountains.

---

## ✔ STEP 2: Circle the word family.
> Instruction: Circle the word family from: ad, an, ap, at, am

🔹 We’re learning the “/ap/” sound.
✔ Circle “ap”

---

## ✔ STEP 3: Color the word.
> Instruction: Color the word that matches the picture (the map).

🔹 Words given: nap, tap, map
✔ Color “map” — because the picture is a map!

---

## ✔ STEP 4: Read it.
> Instruction: Look! I see a big map.

🔹 Just read the sentence aloud.
✔ Practice saying: *“Look! I see a big map.”*

---

## ✔ STEP 5: Connect it.
> Instruction: Connect the letters to make the word “map”.

🔹 You have circles with letters: c, a, d, m, e, p
✔ Connect these three letters in order:
→ m → a → p

(You can draw lines or trace them to form the word.)

---

## ✔ STEP 6: Stamp it.
> Instruction: Stamp the letter “m”

🔹 This might mean you pretend to stamp the letter “m” (or if you have a real stamp, use it!).
✔ Write or stamp the letter “m” in the box.

---

## ✔ STEP 7: Write it.
> Instruction: Write the letter “m”

🔹 Trace or write the lowercase letter “m” on the lines.
✔ Make sure it looks like: m

---

## ✔ STEP 8: Color the same word family.
> Instruction: Color all the pictures that belong to the “/ap/” word family.

🔹 Pictures shown:
- Baseball bat → bat → ends in “at” ✘
- Baseball cap → cap → ends in “ap” ✔
- Eraser (with “eraser” written) → not “ap” ✘
- Boy holding bat → not a word ending in “ap” ✘
- Science table (beakers, microscope) → not related ✘

✔ So only color the baseball cap — because “cap” rhymes with “map”!

---

## 🎯 FINAL ANSWER SUMMARY:

✔️ Color the map picture
✔️ Circle “ap” as the word family
✔️ Color the word “map”
✔️ Read: “Look! I see a big map.”
✔️ Connect: m → a → p
✔️ Stamp: “m”
✔️ Write: “m”
✔️ Color: the baseball cap (because “cap” is in the /ap/ family)
