Introduction
W
elcome to Fun Flaps: Word Families, a hands-on way to help children practice
essential reading skills. This book includes 32 reproducible fun flaps that feature
the same interactive format that children know and love. Fun flaps are ideal for learning
centers or for use during transition times—in the morning, before or after lunch, at the
end of the day, or for practice at home.
Each fun flap features related word families. Children choose a picture and name it, then
lift the flap to reveal the word and additional words that belong to the same word family.
You’ll also find additional reproducible pages to make using the fun flaps even easier:
u

u
u
step-by-step directions for folding the fun flaps (page 6)
a checklist to help children keep track of the fun flaps they’ve done (page 7)
self-checking quizzes (pages 8–15)
a fun flap template for children to make their own fun flaps (page 48)
The engaging format and illustrations encourage children to review skills again and
again. Mastering word families has never been so much fun!
How to Use This Book
There are many ways these fun flaps can be used in the classroom
and at home. Here are some teaching tips to get started.
u Make copies of the fun flaps, store them in labeled hanging files,
and place in a learning center. After demonstrating how to fold
the fun flaps, post the folding directions nearby. (Many children
already know how to fold these, but the directions will guide
them if questions arise.)
u Have children decorate individualized pocket folders to use for
storing their fun flaps, checklists, and quizzes. Explain how to
use the checklist to keep track of which fun flaps children have
used and to record their quiz scores.
u Brainstorm with children a list of ways that they might support
a productive environment in the classroom while using the fun
flaps—for example, speaking in low voices when reading and
answering the questions.

u Introduce a new fun flap each week. Write the number
and title of the fun flap on a sheet of art paper. Then
list words that belong to the word families featured on
the fun flap. Draw or glue on pictures to go with the
words. Invite children to read each word and point out its
corresponding picture.
u After working with each fun flap, ask children to cut out
the self-checking quiz and fold back the right side to hide
the answers. Have them complete the quiz and check
their work. Then show children how to record their quiz
scores as on the checklist.
Using the Fun Flaps
1
Partner A holds the fun flap in a closed position,
so that the points touch. Partner A asks Partner B
to choose a picture on a flap.
2
Partner B selects one of the four pictures.
3
Partner A opens and closes the fun flap the number of times
shown above the selected picture, ending with the fun flap
in an open position. Partner A holds the fun flap so Partner
B can view the four pictures with word family endings.
4
Partner B chooses a picture and names it. Partner A lifts the
flap to reveal the word and reads aloud the other words
beneath the flap.
5
Partners can switch roles at any point. Practice continues
until both partners have taken several turns and are familiar
with the word family words on the fun flap.
