Designed specifically for small-group instruction, Cut & Paste Word Family Sentences takes an active learning approach, providing students with multiple hands-on opportunities to develop an understanding of over 37 essential phonograms while building a wide range of literacy skills.

Knowledge of these essential phonograms enables students to read and spell more than 500 words. Students can then draw on their instant recognition of these phonograms to help them read more complex words quickly and with automaticity, thereby improving reading fluency and allwoing their brains to focus on comprehension.

Step-by-step directions tell how to use the word family words on each page to teach an entire lesson. Students tackle each scrambled word family sentence word by word, put the words in the correct order, and then practice reading the words within the context of the sentence. The partially completed illustration on each sentence page gives students the opportunity to demonstrate their comprehension through discussion and creative expression.

The sentences included in Cut & Paste Word Family Sentences are comprised of words that students will frequently encounter in their reading and find useful in their writing. Use the more than 37 phonograms featured in this book to help students with the following crucial early literacy skills:

• Phonemic Awareness
• Phonics
• Oral language skills
• Sight word recognition and practice

This book features a simple lesson plan format to maximize learning of early literacy skills.

Pages are reproducible for whole classroom use. Also, pages are perforated and printed 1-sided so that they can be torn out and used with students or children at home.
