Word Study Goals -

RF.2c- Orally blend word parts (onsets and rimes)

RF2. e- Orally delete a sound (phoneme) at the end of a simple, one-syllable words to make a new word.

RF3.b- recognize that a single vowel letter stands for a short or long vowel sound

Questions: How can word families help us read/write words.

Try some of these activities at home....

-do some oral word play with your kiddos based on familiar word families. Ex.

• Say ring;
• change the /r/ to /p/; what’s the word? ping
• change the /p/ to /s/- What’s the word? sing
• change the /s/ to /th/, what’s the word? thing

-You can also change the word family (rime) and/or the beginning part of the word (onset)

• - say ring;
• change /ing/ to /at/- What’s the word? rat
• change /at/ to ug- what’s the word? rug;
• change /r/ to /b/ what’s the word? bug

 

• Say dog;
• change the /d/ to /l/; what’s the word? log
• add b to the beginning of log; what’s the word? blog
• change the /bl/ to /fr/- What’s the word? frog
• Bonus: take away the /r/ in frog what’s the word? fog

-You can also change the word family (rime) and/or the beginning part of the word (onset)

• - say hop;
• change /op/ to /am/- What’s the word? ham
