One thing that the boys have had a little trouble with since the beginning of the year is word family ladders. The funny thing is they spend all day saying rhyming words, but when they sit down to do a ladder they freeze. So, I decided to find a different way to go about it. I was planning on reading Cat in the Hat this week, so I decided to add on Cat in the Hat Comes Back, and then do this really cool lesson I saw on Pinterest. Here's the link:

So, I just cut six white rectangles, and then a bunch of white and red squares. Then I asked them what color background they wanted and we got started. I picked a word ending, and they came up with the words, and then wrote them. They worked together to come up with some, and some they did on their own, but I only had to give them clues a few times. They had some fun doing it, and hopefully helped them be able to do a "ladder" without it being so scary. I think they turned out great!
