Happy Thursday, Cupcakes!  I am so excited to be stopping in with a NEW PRODUCT!!  With a little one, it takes me a *bit* longer to finish something.  But hey, it all gets done, and I get baby snuggles, too! 😉

I created a set of practice sheets to help kiddos practice and master word families!  The pack is called Word Family Slide & Find for Short Vowels!!  You might have seen a little “teaser” on your Instagram feed a few days ago…


Each page includes a cute slider which kiddos will use to create 8 new words, plus a word search with all 8 words hidden inside!  On the bottom of the page, there is space for your students to use one of the family words in a sentence.

Here is an example of one in use {by me… I need to practice my word families, too!}.

There are 31 short vowel word families covered in all:
short a: -ab, -ack, -ad, -ag, -am, -an, -and, -ap, -at
short e: -ed, -ell, -en, -ent, -est, -et
short i: -ick, -ig, -in, -ip, -it
short o: -ob, -ock, -og, -op, -ot
short u: -ub, -uck, -ug, -um, -un, -ut


These printables are fun, engaging, and sure to be a hit among your students!  They are great for whole group, small group, or independent practice!

I’m also working on a set for long vowel word families!

If you’re interested in grabbing Word Family Slide & Find for Short Vowels, head on over to my TpT shop!  They will be on sale until Midnight EST!  I hope you love them!!!
