Teaching notes for the week ahead
- How to Teach Blending SoundsBlending pushes sounds into a word. Compare chunking with sounding out, and use this correction when a child guesses from the first sound.
- Consonant blends: l, r, and s lists, and the digraph testConsonant blends keep every sound. Here are l-blends, r-blends, and s-blends, final s-blends, and how they differ from digraphs.
- Consonant-le Syllables: Count Back ThreeDivide consonant-le words by counting back three letters. See table, apple, turtle, and needle, plus when the consonant before le doubles.
