Three word family houses: -ig with a pig and a wig, -op with a mop and a spinning top, and -ug with a mug, a bug and a rug. Children write the first letter in the box and read the word. The ending is already there, so a picture that could have two names (a rug or a mat) only fits one word. Page 2 is the answer key.
