Word Family -an | Phonics Song for Kids | Jack Hartmann

I used this video in my classes to help students learn the -an word family.  

Sentences and Pictures for CVC -an words

(TESOL Materials-- -an Word Family)

Google: slides, pub

Homework sheet: docs, pub

This was created using Google Gemini, as I mentioned in a previous post.  I used the slideshow for reading practice with my students.  I also printed out the slides, and then cut them up and separated the sentences from the pictures, and did an activity where the students had to match the sentences to the pictures.  I've also created another sheet for homework to practice writing.

a, fan, gets, man, ran, tan, the, to, van, with,

* The Gap and the Map

* Dan and Pat

* Dan and Pat (2nd Version)

Here are 3 storybooks make by Google Gemini Storybook (of varying quality) with the intent of studying -an words, -at words, and -ap words all together.  The prompts for these books come from this chat, this chat and this chat.

* Ben and Ken: Storybook for -en and -an word families

This is a text I created using Google Gemini Storybook for reviewing both the -en word family and the -an word family.  The prompt was "create a storybook for brand new readers. Use these words: ben, den, hen, ken, men, pen, ten, zen, ran, van, fan, man, ban, tan, pan, can"

The chat which created this book can be found here.  

Dan the Man and Dan the Man and His Fan

These are both Gemini Storybooks for the CVC -an Word Family.

Both of these books were created using the same prompt: "create a story book for new readers based on these words: ban, fan, can, van, pan, tan, man, ran"

The Gemini chats which created these storybooks can be viewed here and here.

Matching Cards for CVC words with -an

(TESOL Worksheets--CVC Word Patterns)

Google: docs, pub

Homework: docs, pub

I use these cards in several stages.

I start out with some of the alphabet cards from this previous activity.  I take the "A" card, and ask students what sound it makes.  Then I take the "N" sound, and ask what sound it makes, and then put the two cards together, and try to get students to tell me the sound.

I then take out several consonants, and get the students to tell me the sound, and then put these consonants together with the -AN to make different words, helping students to sound them out.  

At this point I put out the picture cards, and as we do different CVC -at words, I get students to identify the pictures.  

Once all the words and pictures have been identified, then we play a memory card game to match the words and pictures.  

Lastly, I put away the word cards, and just show students the pictures.  The students have to write down the word on their mini-white boards.

fan
