These rib-tickling word family plays will delight children and help them become confident, fluent readers. Each play gives children plenty of practice reading a group of words from the same word family—words that share the same sound and spelling pattern. Learning to recognize these families of words helps children decode with ease so they can focus on comprehension. What’s more, the funny plots and characters will invite children to read the plays again and again, helping them improve reading rate, automaticity, expression, and other key fluency skills. For use with Grades K-2.
