Fun with Blends: Listen and Write

Description

This resource focuses on improving students' phonological awareness by identifying and recording 2-sound consonant blends. The learning activity is divided into several parts, including an echo technique where students listen to their teacher, repeat the word, tap out the sounds they hear, and write the corresponding sounds using Fundations-style handwriting lines. The lesson also includes dual-coding with pictures, where students name objects and circle the blends associated with the starting sounds. Additionally, there are sections for mastering blends through tapping, writing, and self-checking their work. The practice ranges from worked examples to independent practice, encouraging students to verify their understanding of blends through systematic checks. Overall, the resource aims to make students blend experts through engaging and interactive phonics exercises.
