Here is a major improvement over simple flash cards: Shape Flash Cards Each rhyming word family is represented by a distinct shape, thereby allowing students to visually understand this concept. For example, the -an family (can, fan, man, pan, ran, van) is printed on a soda can, while the -all family (ball, call, fall, mall, tall, wall) is printed on a beach ball. These shape cards are perfect for making mobiles, art activities and for playing games. Imagine playing the classic game "Concentration" in which two words with the same background shape make a winning pair. The following 30 word families are included in this book: -ag, -ail, -ain, -all, -an, -and, -ap, -ar, -at, -ay, -eal, -ee, -ell, -en, -et, -ice, -ick, -ig, -ip, -ish, -ock, -og, -one, -ook, -op, -ot, -uck, -ug, -un, -ut.
