This resource focuses on teaching students how to blend vowel-consonant (VC) words through interactive activities. The primary learning goal is to help students segment and combine individual sounds, effectively promoting their phonics skills. The guided practice section includes 'The Tap & Slide' method, where students tap a finger under each letter to vocalize its sound before sliding their finger to blend the sounds into a word. Following this, practical exercises with sound boxes enable students to use counters to represent each sound they hear, reinforcing the concept of blending into whole words. Additional activities include tracing vowel sounds, a blending checklist for self-assessment, and matching beginning sounds to pictures. The resource concludes with a review and progress monitoring section to track mastery of VC words.
