I just had to blog about it today, because this 93-page packet, makes teaching word families simple and easy for you,  and lots of fun for your kiddo's!

The Toucan will help make your students Can-Do Word Wizard Kids. These lessons plug in perfectly with your Word Work for Daily 5 activities too.

Students stay organized and keep everything in a neat folder for easy access!

  • Students write any words that appear on their recording sheet.
  • The student with the most words when the timer rings receives a sticker on their sheet.
  • As an alternative, have students think up silly nonsense words and then define them.
  • For example, Zad, a friendly alien from the planet Zador.
  • Students can keep this practice sheet and their "magic letter wands" in the above folders.
