Description
How to Teach the -ig Word Family
This Easter IG word family activity helps kindergarten and 1st grade readers read and spell words that end in -ig, like big, dig, pig and twig. Word families teach children that words with the same ending chunk rhyme and follow the same spelling pattern, so once a child can read one -ig word, they can read many more.
How to Use This Activity
Children cut apart colorful Easter egg cards and two sort cards: an -ig basket and a Not -ig card. They read each egg word and decide whether it belongs in the -ig basket or on the other pile. Near-miss words like pin, dip, fin and bag make children look carefully at the ending of every word. Next, they write the eight basket words on the Egg Basket page and read them to a friend. This 1st grade Easter activity is perfect for spring literacy centers, small groups, partner work or a fun holiday review.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use page with skill, materials, prep and simple steps
- 2 sort cards (-ig basket and Not -ig)
- 12 Easter egg word cards
- Egg Basket recording page
- 1st grade practice worksheet: finish each sentence with an -ig word
- Answer keys for the egg sort and the practice worksheet
Why This Easter IG Word Family Activity Helps Kids
First, sorting words by their ending builds strong decoding and rhyming skills. Second, writing the -ig words on the Egg Basket page connects reading to spelling. Third, using each word in a sentence on the practice page shows children what the words mean, all with a cheerful Easter theme that keeps them excited to learn.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Hide the egg cards around the room for a word family egg hunt before sorting. Challenge children to think of a new -ig word that is not on a card. Pair this activity with other Easter word family packs to build a spring word wall.
