Early sound blending practice 1: CVC words with short a and e vowels

$4.99 including GST

CVC words with short <a> and <e> vowels. Early phoneme blending practice using the basic code and word initial continuants.

Why blending? Learning to decode letters into speech sounds, and then to blend the speech sounds together to form words is a fundamental reading skill for all students in their first year of schooling.

Why the basic code? To keep things simple, we start with consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) word structures composed of high frequency letter-sound links.

Description

CVC words with short <a> and <e> vowels. Early phoneme blending practice using the basic code and word initial continuants.

Why blending? Learning to decode letters into speech sounds, and then to blend the speech sounds together to form words is a fundamental reading skill for all students in their first year of schooling.

Why the basic code? To keep things simple, we start with consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) word structures composed of high frequency letter-sound links.

Why start the words with continuants? A continuant is a consonant which is sounded with the vocal tract partly closed, which allows the breath to pass through and for the speech sound to be stretched or prolonged (e.g. /f, l, m, n, r, s/ and /v/). They’re easier to blend for beginners than words that start with short ‘stops’ like <b>, <d> or <g>.

Why read and write the words? Early encoding (writing) practice helps consolidate early decoding (reading) skills (and vice versa).

The resource can be downloaded in PDF and Google Slides formats.
