The engaging reproducible stories and activities help students make connections with word sounds and spelling patterns.

16 word families practiced:
-ack, -and, -atch, -ell, -ent,
-est, -ick, -ill, -ing, -ink, -ock,
-og, -um, -ung, -unk, -ush

By learning to recognize familiar parts of words, students rapidly increase their reading vocabulary, leading to a positive reading experience.

The word family words are made meaningful in the context of engaging, often humorous stories.

The comprehension and vocabulary pages take students beyond word recognition, providing practice with test-type comprehension questions and word meaning.

Reproducible word-list sliders encourage repeated practice of the word families, leading to increased oral reading fluency.

An easy-to-use answer key of reduced pages is also included.

This resource contains teacher support pages, reproducible student pages, and an answer key. This is a reproducible resource (photocopying of lessons is permitted) for single classroom or individual home use only.
