EASYTEACHING.NET

Overview:

A foldable reading booklet focused on words in the '-en' word family. Students trace, read, and colour. Designed for students in the year 1 and year 2.

Learning Objectives:

  • Recognise and read words that belong to the '-en' word family.
  • Practise tracing '-en' words to reinforce spelling and letter formation.
  • Develop early reading fluency through simple sentences.

How the Activity Works:

Each page of the booklet presents a simple sentence featuring an '-en' word (e.g., I use a pen. or The bear is in the den.) alongside a matching picture. Students read the sentence, trace the '-en' letter pattern, and colour the illustration. The booklet is folded for students to keep as a reference and reading resource.
