Five word family houses across the top, -at, -an, -ig, -op and -ug, each with two spaces, and ten pictures to cut out. Children say each picture name, listen for the ending and glue it in the house it rhymes with: cat and hat go in -at, mop and top in -op. It is a good check after the two word family worksheets. Page 2 shows where each picture goes.
