Looking for a fun way to teach the AN Word Family? Today, I’m sharing a FREE reader and other resources for the AN Word Family from Unit 1 of Learn to Read. This the third short a word word family reader from Unit 1 of Learn to Read.

*The download for the free printable AN word family reader and activities can be found towards the end of this post. Click on the teal, oval button. You can also find more of my free word family books.

AN Word Family Reader and Activities - FREE - This Reading Mama

*This post contains affiliate links.

AN Word Family Reader & Activities

For each lesson, we do a few word family and sight word activities before she even reads the reader for the week. This helps to introduce the sight words and word family pattern.

rainbow roll and write the sight words where & find

Our rainbow roll & write is a good example of one of the ways she is introduced to the two new sight words. {If your child needs to review some of the words from Reading the Alphabet that are in the readers, check out my free rainbow write set for those 26 sight words.}

AN word family puzzles and review short a family puzzles

To introduce our word family words, one of the activities she has lots of success with are our word family puzzles. We don’t just use the puzzles one time either. On our 2nd day, I added some of our short a word family puzzles from the AT Family and AD Family to give her an extra challenge. {These are all free to download.}

Before she reads, we often go through the book and look for the word family pattern. This time, we underlined them on each page, like you see in the first image of this post, but we don’t always do this.

roll read and dot AN word family words

Another fun activity that we do later in the week is our Roll, Read, & Find. This time, she used our dot paint markers and dotted the words instead of tracing them. I had planned for her to trace them {to sneak in some handwriting practice}, but being flexible as a teacher sometimes trumps the best-planned lessons! Amen?

assemble and staple the AN word family book

*I’m often asked how to assemble the books. I walk you through it a bit here. Once the books’ pages are in order, I use a long-armed stapler to make it look more like a “real” book.

More AN Word Family Activities

All of the activities shared below are from my Learn to Read Unit 1 {Short a} Pack which can be purchased at my shop or at my Teachers Pay Teachers Store.

building sight words from Learn to Read Lesson 3 with magnetic letters

In each pack, there are sight word cards with review words as well as new words. One of the easiest activities ever is to simply let her build them with magnetic letters.

power magnets for sight word maze

She loves doing the sight word maze, too. Often, she’ll do them with Power Magnets first.

sight word maze with WHERE

Then, on the same day {or another day}, she’ll do them with dot paint. These are challenging for her and I love that she really has to focus on the letters of each sight word in order to get through the maze correctly.

AN Word Family Playdough Mat

There are several different activities to choose from with the AN word family. One day, I printed out the AN word family playdough mat for her to work on. It helps to slip this one into a plastic sleeve protector first. The student says the word, spells the word with playdough, then writes the word with dry erase marker.

If I Can Spell AN Word Family activity

One of the last activities we do during the week is the If I Can Spell… because it really stretches her ear for word family words and beginning sounds. Together, we go through the beginning sound chart {free to download on my blog} and blend the onset and word family together to make words. We write the real words down, but it’s fun to make silly words, too!
