There are 37 word families in the English language.  In this class, the at, it, and et family will be discussed.  We will take the sight words:  the, I, see, is, on, and has and learn to blend words using the 2 word families.  We will then read sentences using these sight words and the words we have blended.  The student will also have an opportunity to think of other sentences using these words.  I teach in a relaxed manner and keep the class size small.  Prior knowledge:  Your child must be able to identify the letters and know the individual sounds that the letters make in order to learn how to blend these words.  In order to be of the most benefit, your learner should be willing to interact by trying the blending.
