Word Families: in
| bin | din | fin |
| gin | pin | sin |
| tin | Vin | win |
| chin | grin | skin |
| spin | thin | twin |
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 pin: sound out the p and add the chunk in forming pin.
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 pin then they can remember the chunk (in) to spell tin. They have to only replace the first letter.In Rhyme
By Mrs. Alphabet
Vin played gin
With his twin
He wanted to win
So he could grin,
Clap, and spin.
