My Word Family Book: Idea #285

Kids love making books. To get your student motivated to read word family words, try making a book. Just do the following:

1. Have your student choose a word family, for example -an. Then have your student make a list of all the words they can think of in that particular word family. For example: an, ban, can, Dan, fan, man, Nan, pan, ran, tan, van. 

2. Since the -an family has eleven words in it, give your student 12 pages (whatever size you would like). 

3. On the first page have your student write: 'The -an Family' or the word family that they chose.

4. Then on each page have your student write one word and draw a picture of it.

5. When your student has finished, staple the pages together and they can practice reading the book at home.

6. If your student doesn't like to draw, click here to find some printable word family books that your student can color.
