Recently we launched our new You Can Read Word Families program! You can read more about it and see the first set shared, featuring _at word family printables. You can also see the _et Word Family in action here, and our _ig Word Family in action here!

This week we are sharing _op word family printables with you!

I have not created all of the sets I plan to create, but have several done and am working quickly on them! Since I am using one set per week with Ladybug, I have to work fast! I plan to release freebies from each unit on my blog and share some ideas for using the printables. I have already released free _at Q-Tip Painting, _at Word Puzzles, _et Play Dough Mats, _et Funny Font Word Hunt, _ig Mini Book and _op Roll and Graph. Sometimes you may also find entire sets free within blog posts or in our newsletters or blog emails! Full sets will also be listed in my Teacher’s Notebook Shop for $1.25 each and when I am all done I will bundle the entire set at a discounted price!

How we are Using These…

We are using these alongside of our You Can Read Sight Words. We basically just added this in to our other Kindergarten curriculum.

Here’s a peek at what we used during this unit. These photos also show the order we used the printables, she helped me choose what to do each day. All of the printables are in a binder so she can easily flip through and choose.

We enjoy using our Perler Bead letters to make the words.

Funny Fonts ~ each word has a color, you can use dot paint or simply circle the words using crayons or markers. We have even used colored stickers to put on the words before! The words are written in different fonts to give exposure to all sorts of writing.

BINGO! A very simple version of BINGO which she loves! We play several times in a row!

Roll and Graph ~ She chose to record with stickers this time, see more ideas for using roll and graph here!

We got out our OP book from Reading Rod Readers, she loved it!

Painting her Color by Word activity…

Word Search with PAINT ~ all words are left to right to make it easier for younger kids.

She asked to create one of the pictures with her Spielgaben pieces, she chose the top!

Q-Tip Painting {aka Perler Bead Gluing Printables}, see ideas for using Q-Tip painting printables here! As you can see we use them to glue Perler Beads on the tiny dots!

Mini Book ~ cut out the pictures, color if desired, glue on the correct page!

Word Puzzles!

Sentence Search ~ we use two different colored markers for this activity. One color for the focus words and one for any other words she can read independently. Then at the end we read the sentences together her reading circled words and me reading the others.

Matching ~ draw a line to match the word to the correct picture.

I hang her work up by her desk each week, here’s an end of the week photo {some of her work is done in sheet protectors with dry erase and therefore doesn’t get hung}.
