Learn about the ug word family. Word families are groups of words that have a common pattern. Word families, sometimes called phonograms or chunks, can help emergent readers by providing predictable patterns within words. When learning to read, patterns are important. Children recognize word patterns and this makes it easier to sound out words. Sing and move with Jack as he introduces the ug word family.
