Guided Notes

Key concepts students will learn:

  • One activity to help children blend CVC words involves using sound boxes to isolate each individual sound before blending them together.

  • When introducing new words, keep the middle and ending sounds the same, as the vowel sound can be tricky for students.

  • Using letter cards, start with two sounds, a vowel and a consonant, and have students tap and move them closer together until they can blend the sounds.
