The Word Families Center pocket chart is a great way for children to recognize, read, and spell sets of rhyming words. These skills are very helpful to beginning readers and writers. For instance, with short vowel words, children can learn to spell sets of rhyming words by changing the letter or letters in front of the vowel. If a child can spell cat, then by knowing to remove the "c", she can also spell bat, fat, hat, mat, pat, rat, and sat.
Learning the spelling families gives readers the independence to read or write new words without help if they know how to read or write a word that rhymes with the
unknown word. Use your Word Families Center as a fun and interactive resource to supplement your reading and literacy program.
