A great way to teach word families
Submitted by Jessica (08-10-2012)
I HAVE MOVED THIS IDEA TO TEACHER RESOURCE SUGGESTION BOX AS MANY COMMENTS ARE COMING UP FOR US TO MAKE THESE UP.....
A relief teacher on my Kindy class had the kids complete a word wheel with 'at' words. What made this special and memorable was that it was in the shape of a cat, and the cat had a moveable round belly with the beginning sounds that could be spun around to make each 'at' word. It was fastened with a split pin. The kids then made a list of all the words in their scrapbooks next to the glued in cat.
The kids enjoyed this so much that we have continued to make these word wheels in the shape of a frog to complete 'og' words. We are going to do a frying pan for 'an' words, a mit for 'it' words, a sun for 'un' words and a jet for 'et' words.

What others are saying...
We have this planned to put on the site for next month thanks Ladies....
I too would love to see a picture of this idea. If you had a template that would be even better....
Great idea any chance of a template or putting it on site.
I have seen plain versions of these dials and love them, but using fun images will engage childrens interest so much more! Please post as soon as you get a chance. Many thanks
That sounds great.
