In this unit, there are 80 words (320 slides) to work through with your students to practice blending both real and nonsense words with beginning and ending consonant blends. You can choose which set to use with your students (I usually start with successive blending as a scaffold).
- Successive blending slides: This set of words shows each letter, one at a time so students can blend together each sound without being distracted from the other letters. Please note: in this blends version, I put the consonant blends in one box, but they represent two separate sounds, I do this so students can attend to both separate sounds in the blend at one time.
- Regular blending slides: This set of words shows all the letters at one time, but the car moves from one box to the next as we blend the sounds together.
All the slides in this pack have a road theme with a car to “slide” through each sound and blend together.
These slides are available in Google Slides and are perfect for a phonics warm-up in a whole group or small group setting. Simply press “present” and students will say the sound the image is under, then blend the word at the end.
Enjoy!
