How to use the set?

Print owls, cut them according to the lines or cut out the owl silhouette itself. Print owl hats and cut them out. Laminate if you want the printables to last longer.

Tell children that you’d like them to help you and ask them to put the right hats on owls. It’s your choice what word families you’d like to practice. On the hats there are the letters B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Qu, R, S, T, V, W, Y, Z and they will help you to build any word with a certain word family. I added Possible Words sheets to simplify your life. I have found all possible words for these word families (maybe I skipped one or two :)! Children can “connect” an owl with a hat using play dough, paperclip, sticker, etc.
