What are word families?

Word families are groups of words that have a common feature or pattern - they have some of the same combinations of letters in them and a similar sound. For example, at, cat, hat, and fat are a family of words with the "at" sound and letter combination in common. Word families encourage student to find patterns in words so they can recall this information in a timely fashion. Working with word families helps students develop their skills in words identification, phonological awareness (rhyming), word study, and spell words.
