Word Families

For the last several weeks we have been learning all about word families.

We have been reading:

My students love these books.  After reading we guess the missing words for the Fill in the Blank sentences in the back.  As the students guess I record their answers and make a word family poster.  Then we display the posters in the phonics station.

We have also been singing some word family songs:

My students LOVE these songs!!

Each day in the phonics station my students practice these new word families.

We have sorted words into the correct word family:

I have also created my own words and had the students cut them out and glue them on construction paper.

Build words with bottles caps:

Used word family slides and wheels to make words and then recorded our work:

I use black and white slides and wheels that I have colored and created but I found this book of wheels that are already in color and ready to go!
