Blending Sounds with Word Families

Word families are words that share the same ending. They are a great starting point when your child is able to name the sounds of the letters and is ready to start combining them to read simple words. Most of the words in the chart below are CVC words – they are three letter words that follow a consonant-vowel-consonant pattern.
