Word Families AN (1st grade)

To introduce this word family start off with a book that has these words in it such as man, tan, fan, pan and van. Let the children become familiar with the story then ask them what these words have in common. Write these words on the board. Have them come up with some more words on their own then do an activity. They can do a word match where the first half of the word in on one paper and the -an is on another and they have to match them together. Also they can match words and pictures together.
