Working With Word Families
Samples from our Working With Word Families Collection
Word families provide emerging readers predictable patterns for reading and spelling. For example, if a student learns to read and spell the word, “bug,” from the -ug family, that same student can quickly learn to read and spell the words, “pug,” “mug,” “rug,” and “dug,” etc. by simply changing the beginning sound of the word. Working with word families can quickly increase the amount of words your emerging readers can read and spell as well as build confidence in those skills.
At File Folder Heaven we have just added many new activities for working with word families.
