Activities To Help Kids Read Words With Initial & Final Consonant Blends (3 +) - Activity Pack
English Resource Description
The Activity Pack is a comprehensive resource designed to help children of varying ages and abilities to read words with initial and final consonant blends. It is particularly useful for young readers starting at age three, for older children who are reluctant readers, those with learning difficulties, and for those for whom English is a second language. This reading scheme is inclusive and aims to facilitate quick and effective reading skills through a phonics-based approach. The course includes eight reading books, starting with pre-reader levels that focus on initial sounds and word building with simple three or four-letter words. As children progress through the books, they are introduced to a variety of phonic sounds in a specific order, culminating in more complex sounds and the understanding of prefixes and suffixes in the final book.
The learning process is interactive and engaging, with each chapter introducing a new sound for the child to learn alongside an adult. Children are encouraged to read sentences multiple times and discuss accompanying pictures, solidifying their understanding of the words and phrases. The material is designed to be practiced repeatedly until mastery is achieved before moving on to the next sound. The pack also includes activities such as sentence making with cut-out words and ensuring children can read a list of two, three, and four-letter words with consonant blends. Additionally, there are tracing and writing exercises to further reinforce learning. This method of using phonics is proven to help children progress quickly in their reading journey.
