We know that every family is unique and has their own special memories, and so should their word art print. That’s why each print is meticulously personalised to reflect your individuality. You have the freedom to select 10 to 20 meaningful words that define what’s important to you. From names and surnames to places and significant dates, any words you hold dear can be included in the design. I’m using the Family cut file to decorate a fall wreath I made earlier this season. You can use the design for cards or decor or whatever you like.

For example, the root word happy might have a prefix added ( unhappy) or might have a suffix added (happi ness). The words happy, unhappy and happiness all belong to the same word family A word family is a group of words that may share a common root word with different Prefixes and Suffixes in morphology. They are used for teaching spelling. Sign up for a Twinkl Account today to explore this word family teaching wiki and lots more exciting resources.

Knowledge of word families make spelling and identifying words easier, as being able to identify the root word will help children to be able to spell other words in the same word family. If you're teaching your class about word families in preparation for their KS2 SATs, then you've come to the right place. Twinkl has plenty of resources on this topic to support your teaching and to help children understand what word families are all about. For children to retain the information on word families, it's best to introduce them one at a time. This means they'll remain on that particular set of words and be able to remember the patterns and sequences associated with each distinct word family. These words all come from the root word 'write'. This means they're part of the 'write' word family.A second downside to word family lists is that your child may put their focus on the ends of the words. Glossing over the beginning part of the word to find the answer. We want the student's eye at the beginning, and to follow it to the end of the word. Not the other way around, as this reinforces incorrect eye movement. Keep the emphasis on moving the eyes from left to right. You might like to teach the word ‘pan’, followed by the words ‘van’ and ‘ran’... so that the learners knows that they can find other spellings with the same ending. There is a range of print sizes that suits your preferences and available space plus a choice of the frame style that complements your decor and adds an elegant touch to the artwork. With these customisable options, you can create a truly one-of-a-kind masterpiece that fits seamlessly into your home or office. Children should learn about word families in year 3 English as part of the English national curriculum. At this stage, children are shown that common words are related in form and meaning. This personalised family name canvas creates a beautiful piece of art with all a families names and interests. Typography prints from Hatched Creative make wonderful gifts for friends or family members and can be personalised to suit a variety of occasions. Examples could be, birthdays, anniversaries or any other treasured occasion that focuses on a specific number. The issue comes when you stop! And only teach word lists which are grouped in word families. Because your teaching efforts may feel like a failure. Why so? Well… think about it… when you incorrectly use word families… learners can just end up following the pattern of that lesson. They will blindly zip through the spellings without learning them. They will just follow a pattern, one that you had intended to be educational and insightful, which ends up becoming counterproductive. The child can’t then spell the words outside the organised lists.
