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.

n 1816 Mary Godwin (Shelley) and poet-philosopher Percy Shelley traveled to Geneva, Switzerland to spend the summer with their friend Lord Byron. They whiled away their time on the waterfront boating, writing and talking late into many summer nights.
This was the summer in which Frankenstein was conceived. Research suggests that Mary, Percy, Lord Byron and Byron’s guest, physician and writer, John Polidori, decided, at the suggestion of Lord Byron, to have a competition to see who could write the best supernatural story.
It seems the summer was rainy and the group spent many hours amusing themselves reading German ghost stories and were thusly inspired. Shortly thereafter Mary Godwin had a waking dream and Frankenstein was born. Mary was 19-years-old.
Also, born of the same competition was the most famous of John Polidori's works: The Vampyre. This story was originally credited to Lord Byron; however, both he and Polidori attested it was indeed conceived and written by Polidori. Contained within this publication: Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, John Polidori’s The Vampyre plus an excerpt from The Life and Letters of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley by Julian Marshall and an excerpt from the Selected English Letters (XV-XIX) arranged by M. Duckitt and H. Wragg (1913).

Before she wrote what was to become a classic of all ages, Little Women, Louisa May Alcott worked as a volunteer nurse in an army hospital during the Civil War.
Written during the winter of 1862–63, her active and heartfelt accounts appeared in the newspaper Commonwealth where the friends and families of soldiers read them as a way to get a glimpse of the horrible realities of battlefield medicine. LMA’s Hospital Sketches also provides a window into some of the early roles of women in the military.
Writing under a pseudonym, Alcott recounted the vagaries of her two-day journey from her home in Concord, Massachusetts, to Washington, D.C. These chronicles provide a raw and truthful perspective look into an overlooked aspect of the Civil War.

Edith Wharton's tale set in working class New England, of a loveless marriage, a horrible accident and a love that can never be. Told through the eyes of a visitor, Ethan Frome's life comes to light in a tormented bleak reality that mirror's the novel's setting.
Also included, for literacy across the curriculum and Common Core State Standards analysis are source documents that provide insight into Wharton's life, as well as poetry that is a sharp contract to the dismal overtones of Ethan Frome. This poetry highlights the dedicated and charitable spirit that Wharton espoused and provides a window into her political views and life outside of America.
