This book is an excellent resource to teach word families. This book has wonderful reproducible books that are easy to use. I teach kindergarten and I use this at the mid-year point when kids are ready to enjoy learning word families. Another great one to get with this is called Turn-to-Learn with word families. Kindergarten students LOVE it and I would guess that it would also be a great resource for first grade. I wouldn't be without mine. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!

I have found this book to be helpful for using with my kindergarten class to work on word families. The children are very excited to learn that once they can spell (or read) a few words in a word family, they can spell (or read) many others with that same ending.

Each mini-book can be copied double-sided onto one page, and then cut apart and stapled to become an 8-page mini-book. This makes them a good choice if you are concerned about using too much paper or going over your copy budget.

This is another good resource for children to use hands on to learn word families at any grade. My students really love these books and like to take them home to read to their parents.
