word families (part 2)

I've had this finsihed for a while, but haven't taken the time to post it. This set goes along with the first set of word family cards. If you have already printed out the first set of cards, just use the beginning letter cards for this set, too. If you haven't printed off the first set, here is the link for the first set - wordfamilies.docx

materials -
wordfamilies2.docx - cut and laminate for durability
velcro dots



educational benefits -
1. teaches word chuncks so they don't have to sound out each letter
for example: cap - sound out the c and add the chunk ap forming cap

2. encourages children to find patterns in words

3. helps with teaching spelling
for example: if the child knows how to spell cap, they will only have to replace the first letter to spell tap
