Word Families by Teach Speech Apps helps develop the skills needed to help recognize and learn 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, sat, mat, and bat are a family of words with the "at" sound and letter combination in common. Using word families is a powerful way to teach beginning spellers that words contain patterns. Included in this app are the most common word families and some of the words they make up.
