1.) Blending Book
Blending Book is made using a three ring binder and index cards. As students learn sounds throughout the year, add the cards to the book so that they can blend the sounds into words. All of the consonants are placed on white index cards and the vowels are placed on yellow. The index cards can then be turned to make new words. These books are cheap, easy to use, and so effective in teaching children to blend their sounds into words. Use these books at group time and during guided reading groups for extra practice too.
