scar star  Word families are words which end the same forming a
chunk that the children can learn to say altogether rather than
sounding out each letter sound.  For example car:  sound out the
c and add the chunk ar forming car.   Word families encourage
children to spell better as you guide them to search for a word
in the family that they already know how to spell.  For example
if they know how to spell car then they can remember the chunk
(ar) to spell far.  They have to only replace the first letter.
