Blends

Ahhh, the time of year when the kids really start to TAKE OFF with their reading!  I love seeing the great progress they make.  They get so excited, themselves, too!  It's a teacher's dream!  In addition to guided reading groups, I also do whole-group Phonics instruction.  I just can't give it up.  I spend about 20 minutes a day on it.  I feel like there is value to introducing a concept whole-group and then giving the kids time to practice it through games.  Recently, we learned about blends.  I direct taught about s-blends, l-blends, and r-blends.  We watched Jack Hartman's Blend Song daily {twice a day because they begged...}, read our poem of the week {which was blends} daily, and played games. Below are some pictures from the week!

These spin and cover games come from my Level D guided reading pack.

This little blends pack has posters, games, and printables that can be used for whole-group instruction, centers, guided reading, or RTI.

These flash cards are great for early finishers to use with sand timers.  I also use them for "Around the World" and during Guided Reading time as a warm up.
