Word Families

Charlie used Hooked on Phonics workbooks when he learned to read. I got a 3-grade package at Christmas Tree Shop for $9. I haven't been able to find that package again and I don't want the whole HOP set (CDs and all), so I have been looking for something similar for Daniel. I bought a couple apps for the Kindles which were terrible (I actually complained to Amazon because they were misrepresented and they gave me my $0.99 back for each). I have been trolling Pinterest and found a lot of activities with paint sample cards or Easter eggs, but I don't have a stack of paint sample cards and I recycled all our plastic Easter eggs last spring because the just sit in the closet and never get used.  I also didn't want to have a different set for each word family.

This is what I came up with:

Each piece is laminated. You can write on the pink window card with dry erase marker, so you can change the word ending easily.   

For Daniel, I go through and mark the letters he needs to do with what ever ending us on the card.  It seems to work well, although he told me he would rather have a BLUE window card...(insert eye roll here)
