Word Families

You will notice in the newsletter and on the spelling test that there are word families we are working on.  For the first part of first grade we work on word families like:   at, an, ap, ack, etc.  Next week we will do word families that begin with "i".  When we work on them in school, I have magnetic letters placed on the white board and we make words first with the magnetic letters.  Then students record them onto a sheet so that we can review them for the upcoming weeks.  The picture shows the sheet of recorded "ap" words.
