* Sun and Fun
* Both storybooks created in this chat here.
These are storybooks I created using Google Gemini Storybook for reviewing the -un word family. The prompts were "create a storybook for new readers based on words: bun, fun, nun, run, pun, sun. Keep the language as simple as possible so that it can be read by beginning readers" and "Create a story book for young readers based on CVC words ending in -un".
I'm not terribly happy with either book. They're okay, I guess, but not great. But here they are anyway.
Matching Cards for CVC words with -un
(TESOL Worksheets-- -un Word Family)
I use these cards in several stages.
I start out with some of the alphabet cards from this previous activity. I take the "U" 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 -UN 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.
