This is a print-and-go learning center or whole class set for the “ay” word family. It includes: • -ay phonics read and color booklet – “Ray and Kay Play” • A 136 set of “ay” cards for Phonics Go Fish! • Two separate Readers Theater scripts – at two levels Learning word families (also known as phonograms) helps students read in “chunks”. Reading in “chucks” allows students to recognize different word patterns – or sections of a word, such as “ay”, rather than having to sound out each letter. For example, the –ay family includes play, say, stay, etc. Why are word families important? 1. When children begin to read, they sound out every letter. This breaks up the flow of the words, is extremely slow, and makes it difficult for them to transcend to reading comprehension. By learning families of words, children are able to read familiar patterns of letters quickly and fluently. 2. As children progress from simple to more complex words, the patterns, or chunks – continue to help them to decipher longer words. 3. Word families also help with spelling – as students are able to recognize spelling patterns and apply these to other words of the same family.

These are Word Family – Short Vowel Flowers. I’ve been using them to teach students to read for years. They’re perfect for using at home or in a classroom learning center! What are word families? Word families are groups of words that share the same ending. For example, the words cat, fat, and mat all belong to the “-at” word family. The worlds ball, fall and tall belong to the "-all" word family. Why teach reading with word families? 1) The English language is complicated. Word families help beginning readers find patterns within words. 2) Knowing word families makes sounding out words easier because instead of laboriously sounding out each letter, the reader reads the first sound and attaches it to the familiar word family name. When reading the word cat -- rather than reading /k/ /a/ /t/, the child learns to read /k/ /at/.

This NGSS Pancake unit contains three lab projects – for singles, pairs or groups – to be conducted over two days. The labs contain student template pages and are differentiated for different aptitude level. This unit also contains a teaching PowerPoint on the Structure and Properties of Matter. Disciplinary Core Ideas PS1.A: Structure and Properties of Matter Different kinds of matter exist and many of them can be either solid or liquid, depending on temperature. Matter can be described and classified by its observable properties. (2-PS1-1) • Pancake ingredients classified into solid or liquid. PS1.B: Chemical Reactions Heating or cooling a substance may cause changes that can be observed. Sometimes these changes are reversible, and sometimes they are not. (2-PS1-4) • Heating the liquid batter turns it into a solid. Students will form a hypothesis as to whether or not this solid will turn back into a liquid and test their hypothesis. Students will explain their experiments.
