The Word Family Spinners activity will help students to recognize
patterns among words, which will increase the student's word recognition
accuracy and support fluent reading. The teacher should first have the
student read the ending written on the rectangular piece. Initially, the teacher
and the student should work together, adding the beginning sounds written on
the wheel. Later, the student can work independently or with a classmate to
complete the activity. The teacher can make many spinners for different word
families and build the student's confidence while reading and having fun. The
large print and braille on the word family spinner makes this activity
appropriate for all types of learners in the classroom.
Materials Needed: Card stock paper, clear laminate for the braille, marker,
and a paper fastener.
