Learn to Read OG Word Family Reader & Activities

By thisreadingmama 3 Comments

Have you seen all the free word family books available so far from Learn to Read? Today, I’m sharing a few freebies from the OG word family. You can find even more short o word family activities in my Unit 2 Learn to Read Bundle Pack, too!

OG Word Family Reader and Activities

The freebies included in this pack are perfect if you are supplementing what you’re already doing. If you want to use it as your reading curriculum, I encourage you to start with Unit 1 and then move to Unit 2. The short o work from Unit 2 can also be used just to focus in on the short o sound.

 

OG Word Family Puzzles from Learn to Read Unit 2

I love the OG word family puzzles. They are so simple to prep and these really help her sound through her words. The predictable word family ending and self-checking pictures also help. Sometimes I mix in other word family puzzles, like from our OP family, to give her an extra challenge.

 

OG Word Family - rainbow roll and write sight words funny and play

Here, she is rolling and rainbow writing the two sight words from this lesson, funny and play. Since each lesson has the rainbow roll and write for free, you can go back and print words that your child/student still struggles with. You can also find more rainbow roll & write for the review words from Reading the Alphabet.

 

OG Word Family Roll-Read-Find Activity

Roll, Read, and Find also uses a die and gets kids reading and tracing OG words. My goal is to also include different kinds of sentences to practice fluency, too.

 

Staple OG Word Family Reader from Learn to Read

I love how easy assembling the books are. Print front to back {short ways}, stack together, making sure your pages are in order, and staple with a long-armed stapler. {You can find more supplies needed for implementing this as a reading curriculum here.}

 

OG Word Family Reader - Play! Jump! Jog! from This Reading Mama

The OG Word Family book is called Play! Jump! Jog! and even features a little more difficult OG word, frog.

 

More OG Word Family Fun

The activities pictured below are only found in the Unit 2 bundle pack.

 

OG word family slider from This Reading Mama

Another way we practice our word family words is using the word family slider. I like that this slides two ways, one for the first sound in the word and one for picture to match the word created.

 

A Funny Frog OG Word Family Poem by This Reading Mama

On day 1, I read a 1-page poem that I have written that features the word family of the lesson as well as the two sight words. Together, we go through it and underline/highlight the new words.

 

OG Word Family Reader - in black and white

I rarely use the colored reader with my daughter, as she loves to color! Usually, I print the black and white version and she colors it in after she’s read the book with me on day 2.

 

OG Word Family Activity Page

The OG Word Family activity page is a great way to get kids reading and writing those word family words. Plus, she loves the coloring part!

 

OP-OG Word Family Cut and Sort

OP and OG Word Family cutting and sorting. {Love the look of concentration.}

 

interactive sight word mat

These sight word mats can be made re-usable when slipped into a plastic sleeve protector. Just follow the directions at the top of each section. You can also skip the plastic sleeve protector and follow the directions at the bottom of each section, like she did with the the sight word funny. {We love our stamps!}

 

sight word activity page for funny

Love these NO PREP sight word activity pages. Lots of practice included for learning the sight words.

 

roll and race sight word writing -funny-play

Roll and race is another NO PREP sight word activity that gets kids writing their sight words in a fun way. Kids also work on even and odd numbers. My Kindergartner likes to ask me to predict which word I think will win. She loves it when I’m wrong. 😉

 

Color it Crazy - sight word coloring page from Learn to Read

The Color it Crazy page is still a favorite. She gets giddy just watching me create these for her! 🙂 I love that she’s reading and writing sight words, too.

    I am curious when do you start using this, like what age? We starting working through “Reading through the alphabet” around December, but not sure if this “learn to read” comes next? I am desperately trying to find Kindergarten curriculum/activities for the Fall. He will be 5 in October, and since he does not meet the state deadline to start Kindergarten, I really want to work with him more at home. I am nervous about a schedule and curriculum though. I want to keep him engaged, and I just do not want to feel like he is “missing out” by not going to school.
    Thanks for all of the great resources!

      My daughter started Learn to Read after Reading the Alphabet. It’s meant to feed right in. She was 5.5 years old when we started it. She’ll finish it when she’s 6. She’s in Kindergarten this year. I hope that helps! 🙂
      You are wise not to schedule him in too tightly. He’s still young. My daughter does not do every activity of Learn to Read every week. I follow her lead to a great degree. I think that’s very important, especially as kids are young.

        Thank you for the response. Do you have any posts about what kind of schedule you are on for kindergarten? Or any other curriculum you use for math, science, etc? I appreciate all of the great resources on your website we have found so far!
