Learn about the ig word family. Word families are groups of words that have a common pattern. Word families, sometimes called phonograms or chunks, can help emergent readers by providing predictable patterns within words. The first time through we give the beginning sound and the ig word family ending sound. The second time through we give a chance for independent practice of the ig word family.

When learning to read, patterns are important. Children recognize word patterns and this makes it easier to sound out words.

Sing and move with Jack as he introduces the ig word family. These are words that all end with ig and have different beginning sounds or blends.

Lyrics

Lets learn lots of words in the ig family

When you learn them they can help you write and read

Each one is different as they begin

But they all have ig at the end

Look and listen and say the word

/b/ ig b ig

/d/ ig dig

/f/ ig f ig

/p/ ig p ig

/w/ ig wi
