*********************************************************************
Please note there is only a single column for some word family words; this is because the focus is primarily on nouns with visuals. For example, the -ad family on page 18 does not have a complete visual set of four words to be placed in the second column. Also eight words cannot be formulated with some word families or words are not appropriate like in the case of -ox, -ib, -ar, -un, -um etc. word families. In this case both columns will feature one set of words, this is so you can cut vertically and distribute to two students.
