‘At’ word family tree

This ‘at’ family tree is a simple project that can make learning to read fun for your kids.

Material

1 sheet A4 green card
1 sheet A4 brown card
scissors
Black texta
8 apple cut outs

Method

Draw the outline of the top of a tree on the green card, and cut out.
Draw a tree trunk on the brown card and cut out.
Write the letters pictured on the apple cut outs (I printed my apples off the computer and cut them out).
Using the black texta, write 'at' in the middle of the tree, with space for the beginning letter apple to go in front.
Use this with your child to help with their 'at' words.

Notes

You can also make another set of apples using UPPERCASE letters. If you have velcro dots, you could even use these to attach the apples to the tree.

Good, effective and fun to combine the learning aspect in a game.
We loved to make memory card games with the sight words of our kids.

This could be adapted to longer words as the children improve with their reading
