Starting from the word cat and its picture, the video lights up the ending "at", then changes only the first letter, one at a time, to make hat, mat and sat, with the picture changing to match each time. Each new word moves into an "at" family house, the four words are read together and underlined as one word family, and it ends on the recap: change the first letter, and you can read new words.
