What kids practice
These families use spellings that are usually taught in second grade: igh says long i, aw says /aw/ as in saw, and ore says /or/ as in more. Each page shows one family, flip-book style, so your child can read many words from one pattern. They build on first grade phonics with new spelling patterns.
Watch for
- Trying to sound out the g and h in -ight. Treat igh as one chunk.
- Reading -ore as "or-ee." The e is silent.
It's free to print, with an answer key. See the full word family flip pages phonics guide for 2nd grade.
