Word families are groups of words that have a common feature, pattern or meaning. They usually share a common base or root word, to which different prefixes and suffixes are added.
Word families are a great way to begin seeing and hearing letter patterns in words. The more we practice word families, the stronger reader our Kindergartener will become.
Grouping words into word families helps to improve the predictability of letter sounds. The sounds that letters make vary depending on the other letters around them. For example, think of the many different ways to pronounce ‘a’ depending on the word (eg map, cake, boat, head, said, salt, eat). Letters grouped together in a rime within a word family form a stable unit, which sounds the same in the majority of the words it appears in. This increases the probability that your child will read the letters correctly.
Teaching word families to your child can form a useful part of helping your child learn to read. A knowledge of word families helps your child to recognise unfamiliar words quickly and so builds their confidence during the difficult early reading stages. Teaching word families is an integral part of teaching reading using analytic phonics.

Rhyming Words Posters. The ability to recognize and produce rhyming words is an important phonological awareness skill. Research indicates there is a correlation between phonological awareness and reading ability.1 Working on rhyming skills is usually part of most programs of reading instruction for that reason.
Learning and singing rhymes boosts young children’s confidence. Rhymes also serve as a handy tool to motivate children and keep them away from electronics. Unfortunately nursery rhymes are disappearing from our young children’s lives. They get replaced by gadgets and computer games.
Rhyming words for kids can be an exciting way to do just that! When rhyming, your child is likely to engage more and, in the process, continue wanting to learn about language.Before we explore the different ways to teach rhyming words for kids, it’s important to know why you may want to put in all this effort. Why should your child bother learning this skill?
Rhyming benefits children in plenty of ways. Let’s take a look at some right now.
1) Better Information Retention
One of the benefits of rhymes is that they help children (and adults) retain information more quickly and easily.
Children enjoy the feeling of reading deeply familiar stories, and doing so can even allow young readers to memorize parts of a book (or a whole book!).
Since these books are full of rhyming words, they’re easier to remember. That’s because rhymes stick in your child’s brain more quickly than other types of spoken language.
As your child hears the words, their mind breaks them down into sounds and makes connections between them. This connection between the words makes them easier to recall in the future.
Because of the impact of rhyme, many adults can still recite poems or songs they learned way back in elementary school.
2) Reading And Writing Benefits
If your child learns how to spell the word “fun,” it’s much easier for them to spell “run” correctly. Rhyming helps them pick up on patterns and word families, which can benefit them as they learn to read and write.
Finding patterns in words can unlock the world of reading for your child. They’ll discover success reading children’s books written in rhyme, which can be a huge confidence booster!
And, as they continue reading, they’ll be able to take what they’ve learned and apply it to non-rhyming words.
3) Phonological Awareness Development
Phonological awareness helps children identify and isolate sounds in words.
For instance, a child with phonological awareness will understand that the “all” sound in “ball” is the same “all” sound in mall, tall, hall, wall, etc.
Rhyming is one of the activities that can help develop this skill.
4) Listening Skills
Kids hear rhymes before they can read them. So, when you play with rhymes together, you help your child learn to listen to the different sounds in a word.
Listening is an essential skill that kids need to practice. As you work with your child on rhyming, they’ll be learning to use their ears to collect all of the information they need.
5) A Fun Way To Play With Language
Learning shouldn’t be boring, especially if you want to capture and hold your child’s attention. So, how do you bring some fun into it?
Rhyming words for kids can be an exciting way to do just that! When rhyming, your child is likely to engage more and, in the process, continue wanting to learn about language.

Rhyming skills make learning about sequences of letters and sequences shared by words which also rhyme easier for children. Nursery rhymes improve phonological awareness (the recognition of rhymes and phonemes), which in effect improve reading skills. There is a strong and enduring connection between early childhood knowledge of nursery rhymes and later aspects of their linguistic development.

My printable posters for each ABC letter proved to be popular with my young students, so I decided to also design English vocabulary posters to put on my classroom walls.
 |
| A vocabulary posters printed on a large A1 paper sheet (594 x 841 mm, 23.4 x 33.1 inches). |
I used my huge collection of digital images to make lists of words on various topics and create the vocabulary posters. The image collection allowed me to make 72 printable posters to help my students memorize more than 900 words in 20 topics. The majority of posters feature the essential vocabulary for every English learning student (e.g. food, school supplies, body parts, jobs, clothes, means of transport etc.). Some posters allow expanding students’ vocabulary with non-essential but quite interesting words from such topics as tools, farmer’s tools and machines, construction machinery, insects.
These posters can serve as a great visual aid that helps attract kids’ attention and memorize a lot of new and useful words. This kind of printables make my classroom special for little children who are just starting learning English. A lot of bright and colorful pictures on the walls make them fall in love with learning the foreign language. I use the vocabulary posters for homeschooling purposes as well to teach English to my son at home. He loves learning words with so many cool pictures.
 |
| A3-size vocabulary posters featuring animals on my classroom wall (297 x 420 mm, 11.7 x 16.5 inches). |
Posters like these bring more fun to learning English and are conducive to passive learning. I often see my little students flock around the posters in the classroom to look at the pictures. Those who already can read in English read those words on the posters, and the next thing you know students already remember many of them even without interacting with the teacher.
So here is the list of topics and samples of my vocabulary posters.
Animals Vocabulary (17 posters)
 |
| One of animal vocabulary posters. |
Besides the 8 posters featuring different kids of animals, I have designed individual posters dedicated to sea animals, African animals, farm animals, pets, birds, and insects.
Body Parts Vocabulary (2 posters, 28 words)

The vocabulary posters are designed to be printed on A3 paper sheets (297 x 420 mm, 11.7 x 16.5 inches). For those who do not have access to an A3 size printer, I created double-A4 versions of my posters (two A4 size sheets to be glued together to make an A3 size poster). A single poster has 14 words. Some words are offered both in American English and British English variations with corresponding marks in the form of flags. Some large topics are covered by multiple posters, the largest being animals vocabulary featured on 8 posters. The posters are stored in high resolution printer-friendly PDF documents. The resolution is high enough to print the posters on bigger A1 size sheets — 594 x 841 mm, 23.4 x 33.1 inches (see a picture above of my son holding one of such large posters). I’ll be publishing individual topic-based blog posts featuring my vocabulary posters in the future. I’ll be adding links to new posts in this article as soon as each new post is published. My fellow EFL and ESL teachers are welcome to buy the whole collection counting more than 70 printable vocabulary posters right now.
Great learning posters for kids well suited for both classroom and home as educational posters shouldn’t just be limited inside the classroom but also on our kid’s room wall.
