Word Family Train Game: Idea #289

A fun way to teach your student word family words is to have them play simple computer games. Try out the Word Family Game found here. All your student does is click a word family and then click on different letters to go at the beginning. The computer then sounds out the word for your student. For example, if your student chose the word family -ate and then chose the letters l, f, and r, the computer would sound out the words: late, fate, rate for your student. After your student has chosen all of the options for that particular word family, they can go on to a different one. 

I have found this game to be an excellent one to use to help introduce word families. Have fun watching your student learn!
