WORD FAMILIES and SPELLING GAMES

Posted on by

Students! In 2016, we will be focusing on word families with spelling dictations each week.

Please try out these interactive games:

http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/wordfamily/

This online activity is designed to help readers recognize word patterns and learn about onset and rime. Students are first asked to select a vowel, and are then presented with a series of words to sort into short-vowel word families. Students can then print their completed word family chart and use it to practice reading the words fluently.
