Blend Sounds Together To Make Words With Initial Consonant Blends (3 years +) - Activity Pack

The "Blend Sounds Together To Make Words With Initial Consonant Blends" activity pack is an engaging resource designed to help children aged three and above to develop their reading skills through phonics. This comprehensive reading scheme comprises eight books, starting with pre-reader levels that introduce initial sounds and simple word building. As the child progresses, the books cover a wide array of phonic sounds, including combinations like 'ch', 'sh', 'th', and 'wh', as well as more complex sound structures such as 'tion' and 'le'. This educational tool is not only aimed at young beginners but also supports older children and adults who face challenges with reading and spelling.

The activity pack adopts a methodical approach to learning, where each chapter focuses on a new sound. Parents or educators are encouraged to work through the sounds with the child, read accompanying sentences, and discuss related images to reinforce understanding. A list of words and phrases at the end of each chapter allows for further practice by matching them with pictures. This repetitive and interactive method is designed to build familiarity and confidence in phonics, advocating that around 80% of English words can be learned in this way. The pack also includes a narrative featuring characters like Sam, Kim, and their pet Spot, adding an element of storytelling to make reading a fun and immersive experience.
