Word Families
Word families are groups of words that have a common feature or pattern - they have some of the same
combinations of letters in them and a similar sound. For example, at, cat, hat, and fat are a family of
words with the "at" sound and letter combination in common.
The 37 most common word families in English (according to Wylie and Durrell) are: ack, ain, ake, ale, all,
ame, an, ank, ap, ash, at, ate, aw, ay, eat, ell, est, ice, ick, ide, ight, ill, in, ine, ing, ink, ip, it, ock, oke, op,
ore, ot, uck ,ug, ump, unk.
Many of the nursery rhymes contain common word families. You can use these rhymes to teach these
letter combinations (and how they are spelled and spoken), having the students sound them out after
memorizing the rhyme. You can study one word family a week. Students can use the Little Explorers
Picture Dictionary to look for more words that belong to word families.
The following is a list of the most common word families in English (from Wylie and Durrell, 1970, plus a
few other word families) and exemplars of each.
