About this resource
Description
Word families are groups of words that end the same way, like ring, sing and king. This ight, ing, ip, it word family fun activity helps children in kindergarten through 2nd grade read and sort words from four word families: ight, ing, ip and it. When children see that only the first sound changes, they can read many new words at once.
Children cut out 24 colorful house word cards, read each word out loud and sort it onto two sort mats. Each big house on a mat shows one word family on its sign, and each card goes in the box next to the house with the same ending. A practice page then asks children to write eight new words, like bring, flight, drip and quit, in the right family box.
What’s Included
- A How to Use page with simple steps, materials and prep tips
- 24 house word cards on four cut sheets (6 words for each word family)
- Two sort mats with a big house for the ight, ing, ip and it families
- A 1st grade practice worksheet with a word box and four family boxes
- An answer key for every card and the practice page
Why Word Family Sorts Help Kids Learn
First, sorting makes children look closely at the end of every word, which builds strong decoding skills. Second, the ip and it families sit right next to ight and ing, so children learn to tell a short i ending from a longer one. Third, the house cards are hands-on and fun, so children can mix them up and sort them again and again for review.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the cards at a phonics center, in a small reading group or as practice at home. Time a sort and try to beat it, or ask children to think of one new word for each family. This short i word family sort also suits first and second graders who are reading words like bright, swing and trip. Pair the ight, ing, ip, it word family fun activity with the resources below for more word family practice.
