As part of our shared reading of the big book, The Napping House, we have been learning about 'ing' words. We noticed and located words in the book that have 'ing'.
Then we brainstormed our own list of 'ing' words. (We call them family words because they look and sound alike. Sometimes rhyming words don't look the same e.g., bread & red.) Here is the list of 'ing' words we came up with:
king ring sing wing thing
zing swing bring string morning
Learning about family words, is one way for us to learn about how words work. We can make new words, by adding a different letter, or 2 or 3, at the beginning of letter chunks like 'ing'. When we read, it helps us know what to say when we see 'ing' in a word. When we write, and we hear 'ing' in a word, we know what to write.
As the year progresses, we'll be working on more family words. Stay tuned...
