a - Word Family Activity sheets
This is a set of 11 – word family activity sheets featuring “a” word family sets. The activity sheet is meant to be used with scrabble letters. I find it easier for my kids if the scrabble letters are arranged on a cookie sheet. Keeps the scrabble letters from escaping too!
My student looks through the letters and places them on the sheet. Each ending sound is highlighted in a different color to make reiterating the word family sound easier for young learners. In addition to using the scrabble letters, your child could write the letters in the blocks or use letter stamps. Make it fun! DOWNLOAD HERE.
LEGO WORD FAMILY BUILDER
What a fun way to work with your child the art of building a word! My daughter and I sat the other day building different words… cat, sat, fat, wet, pet, and so forth! Legos are familiar to her so it was an easy transition from playtime to learning time!
Rummage through your Lego bin and pull out 26 cube shaped pieces. Using a permanent marker, write a letter on each piece until all 26 letters are done! Put them in a gallon plastic bag and now you have a quick hands-on learning bag! Interested in checking out our other Learning with Legos activities? Happy Lego learning!

Word Family Videos - By Jack Hartman
