Home Connections:
1. An Envelope of Words
This activity encourages your child to practice letter patterns, write the words on paper and cut each letter apart. Place the letters in an envelope, and label it with the word family. Then ask your child to build words. Your child could also write the words he/she makes on paper, chalkboard, markerboard, etc. This activity can be extended to making sentences and cutting them apart to rebuild.
2. Word Families Skill Drill Flash Cards

3. Scrabble Pieces
