School Bus Word Family Sort

This School Bus Word Family Sort activity is perfect for helping children enhance their reading and phonics skills through word family sorting. With colorful school bus mats and word cards, the activity provides an interactive way for kids to practice identifying and sorting words based on their endings.

Features:

• Word Family Focus: Five unique school bus sorting mats, each with a distinct color. The word families included are: ap, et, id, ob, and un.
• Child-Friendly Design: Each mat features three children at the bus windows, prompting kids to match the words on the window cards to the correct bus.

To Prepare the Activity:

• Print and Laminate: Begin by printing the school bus sorting mats and word cards. Laminating them will ensure they last through multiple uses.
• Cut Apart: Carefully cut out each school bus mat and window word card.

How to Use:

• Identify and Sort: Children will read the word on each window card and determine its ending. They will then sort the word onto the corresponding school bus mat based on its word family.
• Recording Page: A recording page is included, allowing children to write each word in the appropriate spot on the bus. This reinforces their learning and providing a clear visual summary of their understanding.

This activity is an excellent way to make phonics and reading practice fun and engaging! It fosters essential language skills in a playful learning environment.

Happy Teaching 🙂
