After the worksheet, have students draw their family tree and label each person with the correct relationship word — grandma, uncle, cousin.
About my family
Ask students to write three sentences about their family using words from the worksheet — personal connection makes the spelling more meaningful.
Story characters
During a read-aloud, pause to identify family relationships — "Is the wolf the grandmother?" — and have students spell the relationship word.
