Word Families: ight
| fight | height | light |
| might | night | right |
| sight | tight |
| bright | flight | fright |
| knight | plight | slight |
Word families are words which end the same forming a chunk that the children can learn to say altogether rather than sounding out each letter sound. For example night: sound out the n and add the chunk ight forming night.
Word families also encourage children to find patterns in words so they can recall this information in a timely fashion.
Word families encourage children to spell better as you guide them to search for a word in the family that they already know how to spell. For example if they know how to spell night then they can remember the chunk (ight) to spell tight. They have to only replace the first letter.Ight Rhyme
By Mrs. Alphabet
In the dark of the night
We spotted a dim light
Tiptoeing in fright
We saw a sight
And ran with all our might.
