About this resource

Build an -at word wall with eleven illustrated cards: bat, cat, fat, hat, mat, pat, rat, sat, flat, splat and chat. Each word appears in all-black text and again with the -at ending highlighted in red.

The fifteen-page PDF includes twelve card pages and three publisher, terms and credits pages. Print selected cards for display or use the two versions for word matching. No sorting worksheet is supplied.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students can read and recognise eleven -at family words, from simple CVC words to blends like flat and splat.

  • Students can sort or group -at words by shared spelling pattern using the printed cards.

Teaching tips

  • Post the cards on a word wall in order of difficulty, starting with three-letter words like bat and cat before adding blends such as flat, splat, and chat.

  • Use the second identical set of cards for a matching or memory game, since two full sets of the same eleven words are included.

  • Laminate the cards for durability, since they are meant to stay posted or be handled repeatedly rather than written on.

Skills covered

  • Word family pattern recognition — reading multiple -at words to reinforce the shared rime.

  • Word wall reference use — using posted cards as an ongoing spelling and reading reference during independent writing.

  • Word matching — pairing identical words from the two included sets for a matching or memory-style game.

Good to know

What range of word difficulty is included?

The set spans simple three-letter words like bat and cat up to blends such as flat, splat, and chat, so it can grow with students as they progress.
