A word family is a group of words that share the same ending or a rime. The following words are included in the -unch word family:
bunch | hunch | lunch | munch |
punch | brunch | crunch |
This word family contains a vowel as well as a final consonant sound, e.g. “unch” in “lunch” and our list only includes one syllable words. Word families help young readers notice features of words, e.g., patterns and rimes; they are helpful when teaching both reading and spelling.
