How to use this teaching resource

  • Print and Laminate to make up wall charts to use for, reading and writing reference
  • PLEASE NOTE:  We have made these quite big (4 to an A4 page) so that you can choose to keep them this way or just adjust your printer settings to print 2 or more to a page – the smaller sizes are ideal for at desk work – the larger sizes are great for display and desk work….
  • PLEASE NOTE:  You don’t have to print all the different layouts – just use the full words and pictures for classifying activities / or just print the pictures on their own for rhyming work – etc etc…
  • Make up laminated sets of smaller sized words with the missing letters – use these sets for children to fill in the missing letters using whiteboard markers – just focus on certain long vowel sets, or throw all the sets together for follow-up reinforcement and practice – great as a literacy group activity
  • Another variation of above idea is children copy the laminated words – include the missing letters in their copy and draw a picture in their literacy books.
  • Laminate the pictures and cut them up for rhyme sort games and activities, match them with the plain word cards – play ‘concentration’ with the pictures and the plain word cards. Give each child a word card and a picture and they have to find their matching partners.
  • Sort the cards and pictures according to exact word family, or word family vowel eg.. all ‘ack’ words, or all ‘a’ words
  • Children use the printable alphabet letter tiles to make up and glue together the word family words.
  • Make up customised phonics flip charts to match each word family – make these words on your flip charts..
  • Laminate and cut the pictures off the picture cards using a ‘puzzle’ cut – children match words to pictures.
  • Laminate and cut off the word family endings using ‘puzzle’ cuts – children then match the pieces to ‘re-make’ the words..
  • Children classify mixed up word cards into word family categories.
  • Use the activities from ‘101 Ways to Use Word Cards / Flashcards‘ with these words…eg. how many times can you find these words in books around the room etc…..

  • The AIR sound is a versatile and commonly used sound in the English language. I prefer to check this https://tipsonair.com/activated-carbon-filter and learn more new ways for the carbon filters. It is part of numerous word families such as “air,” “fair,” “hair,” and “pair,” to name a few. Understanding word families with the AIR sound can greatly improve one’s spelling and reading abilities, making it an essential component of literacy education.

  • The study of word families with the AIR sound is crucial in language learning and development. Understanding how words relate to each other based on their sounds can help learners improve their vocabulary and reading skills. Teachers often use different teaching strategies and tools to facilitate this process, and Eotech eflx is one such tool. With its advanced features, such as the extended focal length and superior light transmission, it provides a clear and detailed view of the learning material.
