The -op family ends in short o and /p/: cop, hop, mop, pop and top, then chop and shop with digraphs, and crop, drop, flop, plop, prop and stop with blends.
Stop and shop are words children see every day on signs and storefronts, which makes this family feel useful. It's also a good family for word ladders, because o can change to i easily: hop, hip; top, tip; shop, ship; chop, chip.
Hop on the list and pop words off it: point to a word, read it, and hop to the next.
Tips for using it
- Change the vowel to make new words: top/tip, hop/hip, shop/ship.
- Look for STOP signs on a walk and read them together.
