Word families
Word families are groups of words that share the same ending patters, such as dog, log, and fog. Although these words rhyme, some rhyming words are in different word families, such as glare and fair. Word families help students to identify patterns of sound as opposed to sounding out each letter in a new word. |
Word Family Assessment
This is an informal assessment used to determine if students can identify the words in word families (phonograms). The target ages are five to eleven and the time required is five to ten minutes per list. This document contains directions, activities, parents letters, word family assessment pages, and a recording sheet for the teacher. The word family assessments begin on page 18. The teacher will ask the student to read the words from each word family on the page. If the student is able to read the word in one second or less they will receive one point and if they take longer than one second or answer incorrectly they will not receive any points.
- Target Ages: 5-11
- Time Required: 5-10 min.
- Administered: Individual/Oral
