Step 1 of 5 · Listen
Two letters, one sound: -at
When a and t sit together they make one sound: at. Put any letter in front and you get a brand new word.
“Tap each tile and say the sound out loud. Then say them fast together — c … at … CAT!”
say it: kat
Step 2 of 5 · Build
Build the -at family.
Tap a letter below to drop it in front of -at. How many real words can you make?
“Start with any letter you like. I'll tell you if it makes a real word!”
?at
Tap a letter to start.
Step 3 of 5 · Read aloud
Read it out loud.
Tap each word as you read it. Take your time — sound out anything tricky.
“Three -at words hiding in there. Can you spot them as you read?”

Step 4 of 5 · Quick check
Which one is not in the -at family?
Read each word carefully. Three of them rhyme — one doesn't.
“Say them all out loud first. Which one sounds different?”
Step 5 of 5 · Print & practise
Take it off the screen.
These go with today's lesson. Print them now or save them for tomorrow — repetition a day later is what makes new words stick.
“Ask a grown-up to print the fill-in sheet. I'll wait right here!”
Lesson complete!
That's every step of “The -at family: cat, hat, bat” finished. Momo is impressed.
