How to use this teaching resource

• Print and Laminate to make up wall charts to use for, reading and writing reference
• 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….
• 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 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…..
