1. Buy a bound set of ruled index cards.
2. Decide which words you will include.
3. Section out the first set of "family" words (all end with the same letters like: hat, cat, rat, sat...)
4. Cut the index cards in half for the entire "family" section EXCEPT for the last one. This will make a natural divide between word families.
5. Write the beginning letter(s) on the left half of the cards
6. Write the word family ending (i.e. "at") on the right card (you should only have to write it one time).
Now every flip will create a REAL word!!!
