This is a print-and-go learning center or whole class set for the “an” word family. It includes: • -an phonics read and color booklet – “Stan and Dan Tan in a Pan” • A set of “an” cards for Phonics Go Fish! • Two separate Readers Theater scripts – at two levels • Cards may also be used for “an” Concentration 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 “an”, rather than having to sound out each letter. For example, the –an 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/.
