A Pet Jet
Directions for use:
Before presenting this worksheet, do some board work with your entire class (or your own child) to introduce the ET word family.
- Teach the sound made by the letters ET.
- Focus on just one letter at a time that may precede ET. Say the word made by adding this consonant. For early learners, stick with single consonants and one-syllable words. Form the words JET, LET, MET, NET, PET, SET, VET, WET and YET. (Later you can add more complex words.)
- Be sure kids understand the meaning of each word you spell. Write the words on the board. Ask a student to come to the board and add one of the consonants to -et. Ask her/him to say the new word s/he just spelled.
- When your students have a good understanding of these words, pass out "The Pet Jet" printable worksheet.
- Discuss story ideas. Write a story-starter sentence on the board for children to copy. Encourage each child to continue the story on his/her own.
