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.

 

 


PLEASE NOTE: We develop suggestion resources based on the MOST WANTED FIRST so VOTE on the top right of this page if you would also appreciate this resource - THANKS

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

  • Year 1 Telling the time

    Submitted by Danielle

    With a year one class we played What's the Time Mr Wolf - but instead of the wolf (myself) calling out 'It's one o'clock!" I used a clock with moveable hands.

  • I saw an interesting post on Pinterest the other day, showing a plastic, sandwich size, zip-lock bag that had had a piece of duct tape run along the base. The duct tape provided reinforcing that allowed holes to be punched through the bag for storage in a binder. I imagine you could run the tape down the side of larger zip-lock bags for a similar effect. This may not solve all your storage issues, but if there\'s just a few small games to go with a unit that\'s otherwise stored in a binder, it might help!

  • I was just thinking the other day that I needed some matching cards for numbers over 100 then today I came across the new parts of speech posters and thought I\'d check out the \"What\'s New\" section and there I found exactly what I had been wanting. Thank you so much for your wonderful resources. This is the first place I check when looking for resources and I\'ve been able to build a great collection since moving to the lower school grades last year. Thanks again!
