Description
How to Teach the -ing Word Family
Word families help young readers see that many words share the same ending sound and spelling. This Easter ING Word Family Activity turns -ing word practice into a spring egg hunt. Kindergarten and first grade students read words like king, swing and spring, sort the eggs into the -ing basket, and set aside the words that do not belong.
Using the Egg Sort
Cut apart the two sort cards and the twelve egg word cards. Children read each egg and decide whether it ends in -ing. The -ing words go under the basket card, and the other words, like pink and wig, go under the Not -ing card. Next, children write every basket word on the Egg Basket page and read the list to a friend. A kindergarten word family activity practice page asks children to finish six sentences with -ing words from a word box.
What’s Included
- Colorful cover page
- How to Use teacher page
- 2 sort cards
- 12 egg word cards
- Egg Basket recording page
- 1st grade practice worksheet
- Answer keys for the sort and the practice page
Why This Activity Helps Kids
First, children learn to spot the -ing chunk at the end of a word, which helps them read longer words like string and spring. Second, near-miss words such as thin and pin make them look closely at every letter instead of guessing. Third, using the words in sentences builds both reading and meaning.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the Easter ING Word Family Activity in a spring literacy center, a small reading group, or an Easter party station. Hide the egg cards around the room for a real egg hunt before the sort. At home, families can read the words together and make up silly -ing rhymes, like a king who likes to sing on a swing.
