These phonics games, which are based on words with the short vowel “e,” will assist kids in reviewing and using a variety of two-letter word families and word patterns. A word family is a collection of words with a common phonological or grammatical structure. They are excellent for group teaching because they frequently rhyme.
Family of words ending in “ed”: bed, red, shred, fed, etc.
Words in the “eg” word family include “beg,” “leg,” and “peg,” among others.
Words in the “en” family include ben, then, hen, men, when, etc.
Words in the “ep” word family include pep, step, etc.
Words in the “et” word family include “pet,” “vet,” “met,” “set,” etc.
The majority of these word families are created by combining a short ‘e’ sound with a single final consonant. Children can read and spell unfamiliar words with ease if they have a strong command of word patterns.
It is an excellent pre-literacy ability to have. Spelling and listening skills are key components of the game. In order to avoid being duped, parents expect their children to listen intently.
