Literacy Center Activity - Word Family Cans

Check out this fabulous literacy center activity {including FREE recording worksheet!} from over Shari Sloane over at Kidscount1234.com. The concept is simple - repurpose snack-size Pringles cans, covering them with construction paper, and print a different word chunk onto each. Then, take colored tiles {like these color tiles from MPM School Supplies} and use a Sharpie to write different letters, adding some to each can along with an index card that features the word family.

To complete the activity, students are invited to

• Select a word family can
• Dump out the letter tiles
• Use them - along with the index card - to make different words
• Record the created words on the provided worksheet

We think this is a fabulous idea and a handy way to review with/review word families! For the full details - and lots of other great lesson ideas - be sure to visit Kidscount1234.com!
