My kids love monsters. I use monsters to explain that words are not real. I tell them that monsters really don’t know how to talk, so they mess up real words. Monsters say things like “ack” and “arg”. Here is how I use Monsters in my classroom.
Monster glasses help you read sight words and real words in books and they also help you figure out which words are monster words. They are special glasses that give us “an extra set of eyes”.
I told my kids that the monsters messed up all of my worksheets and flash cards. I needed their help to sort real words from monster words. The kids throw the monster words into the monster trash can and record the real words.
These monsters sure are pesky! They like to mess up our morning work worksheets too!
I use this rhyme to teach word families.
You can find all of these activities and more in this “Monster Word Family Bundle“. Click the picture to view the product.

I found the glasses and eyes at Walmart. The glasses originally have bows where the eyes are glued. You can find the eyes in the scrapbook section of Walmart. Walmart and Dollar Tree are a teachers BFF!
I would love to win this to use with my tutoring kids that need a fun and different way of working with word families!
