Today we looked at common word endings and word patterns. We also identified the main idea, details and hidden messages in the story about Muhammad Ali. Students continued to work on writing and revising their paragraphs about Muhammad Ali.
Word families are groups of words that have a common pattern or groups of letters with the same sound. For example, the “ain” word family includes brain, chain, gain, pain, rain, and so on.
Examples:
–ick: lick, pick, stick, chick, quick
–ound: around, ground, found, pound
–ight: fight, light, slight, night
