Download these “a” word family mazes for a fun way for your children to practice phonics.

Phonics practice can be boring. Many times it simply involves printed worksheets where students simply fill in letters. There are often not many pieces that are added in to grab and hold a student’s attention.

I have been working to create a collection of phonics resources that will help to engage your children. It would be so nice for them to be excited when they see a phonics worksheet.

This specific set contains word families with the letter a. Some of the word families included are: ad, aw, ale, ame, ank, ash, ab, ain, ail, ack, and, ag, ake, an and ap. Examples of the words are saw, flame, sank, cash and trail.

Completing these “a” word family mazes

Students can use a pencil, colored pencil or marker to complete these pages.

Children will start where the star letters are. These letters will tell students the word family or families that the page focuses on.

They should then follow the path. When they get to each box, they will fill in the missing letter or letters to complete the word.

These maze pages are provided in two formats. The first requires students to determine and fill in the letters on their own.

The second set gives students the letter choices on the side or top (depending on the layout of the practice page.)

Students will end at the star.
