Can I use this sort word families worksheet for homeschool or classroom?

Yes, both. We made it for Preschool word families, and the page works the same whether it lands on a kitchen table or a center rotation. At home, most families go through it together and talk the answers out loud, and that talking is where most of the learning happens with sort word families. In class it runs well as independent work while you pull a small group. Print one copy or thirty, whichever the day needs.
