Word Family Houses

I have been really into word families this year.  I think that they are extremely valuable to students when it comes to reading.  It helps them to recognize patterns in language and helps them to feel sucess in reading more quickly.  Below is a picture of my Word Family Houses.  The students circle the words that belong in the family and "x" out the words that do not belong.  I have a total of 15 Word Families that can be downloaded on Teachers Pay Teachers:)
