-an Family

Now we are going to look at a new word family. All these words end in:

-an

What are the two letters that make up this family name? ('a', 'n')
It's another family with a short-a (that is, /ă/) vowel.
Let's sound out this family name:
- Sound out each letter. (/ă/, /n/)
- Now blend them together to form the family name. (/ăn/)
- Look at the letters and practice it again!
You have just blended the name of the -an word family.

Each time you see the family name letters 'a, n', try to blend them together to form /ăn/. We want to say /ăn/ every time, like you just did!

Now let's sound out a few words in this family.
