Words families..
"Word Families" refers to a group of words that share the same sound pattern, usually the same ending letters or phonetic combinations. Here's a description of three of these phonetic families:
1. Ai:
Refers to the "ai" phonetic combination that usually produces the "ay" sound, as in "rain" or "train."
Words containing this sound include: rain, train, pain, main.
2. Ie:
Refers to the "ie" phonetic combination that often produces the "ee" or "i" sound, as in "pie" or "lie."
Words containing this sound include: pie, lie, tie, die.
3. Oa:
Refers to the "oa" phonetic combination that produces the "oh" sound, as in "boat" or "coat."
Words containing this sound include: boat, coat, goat, float.
Each of these families helps children recognize phonetic patterns in words, enhancing their reading and writing skills.
