Word Families are such an important part of phonics instruction. They help students read familiar patterns of letters quickly and that builds fluency. Once a word pattern is taught, the kids can spell so many more words since they apply the new pattern to their spelling toolbelt!
Word Families Included: (There is an OWL included for each one.)
A: -at, -ad, -ag, -am, -an, -ap
E: -ed, -en, -et
I: -id, -ig, -in, -ip, -it
O: -ob, -od, -og, -op, -ot
U: -ub, -ug, -un, -ut
Maybe a game of Sparkle, Sparkle, Poof can be played after with emphasis on word families? Count me in!
If I can't sleep tonight, you'll know by my next product! :)
Enjoy your day!
