Word Families
My ___ Book
Provide the child with all of the letters plus a number of
copies of the phonics ending you are working on. Let's use "an"
as an example. Ask the children to glue the squares onto a piece of paper
to make as many different words as they can.
I like to make a small booklet this way by cutting 8 1/2 x 11
inch sheets of paper into three 8 1/2 x 3 2/3 inch pieces and stapling them to
create:

-
Glue one AN square onto the title page
-
On subsequent pages glue a lower case letter
square with
the AN square to form as many words as possible: (or print the words
if you prefer that to building them with the flash cards)
-
STRETCH: to stretch this exercise, have
the children use the word in a sentence and write the sentences in their
book:
