Description
How to Teach Word Families
A word family is a group of words that share the same ending, like sun, run and fun. This Easter UN word family activity helps Kindergarten, 1st Grade and 2nd Grade students hear and see the -un ending so they can read many new words by changing only the first letter. Read a word together, cover the first letter, and point out the -un chunk that stays the same.
About the Easter Word Families -un Activity
Children read 18 colorful egg cards. Nine words belong to the -un family and nine are short u words from other families, such as bug, cup and nut, so children must look closely at the ending. They sort each egg into the -un basket or the other basket and write the words on the Egg Basket Log. Next, they build a paper letter cube, roll it and add the ending -un to make bun, fun, run, sun, spun and stun on the Roll and Write sheet. A 1st Grade practice page reviews the skill with a word box and five Easter sentences. It is a fun Easter word family activity for centers, small groups or spring review.
What’s Included
- Cover page and a How to Use page with simple directions
- 18 Egg Cards (9 -un words and 9 other short u words)
- Printable letter cube to cut, fold and tape
- Egg Basket Log sorting sheet
- Roll and Write recording sheet
- 1st Grade practice worksheet with a word box
- Answer key for the cards and the practice worksheet
Why This Activity Helps Kids
- Teaches children to notice word endings, a key step in decoding new words.
- Builds reading speed as children see that one chunk makes many words.
- Mixes sorting, rolling and writing so practice stays playful during the Easter season.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Hide the -un egg cards around the room for a quick egg hunt, then sort them as a class. Send the letter cube home so families can roll and read together. Use this Easter UN word family activity again in spring as a quick review before moving to new word families.
