Introducing Initial Consonant Blends (3 years +) - Activity Pack

The "Introducing Initial Consonant Blends" activity pack is an educational resource aimed at fostering reading skills in children from the age of 3 and above. This comprehensive pack is the brainchild of Sally Anne Jones and Amanda Jones, featuring engaging illustrations by Annalisa Caroline Jones. Published by GUINEA PIG EDUCATION, the pack is a valuable tool for a wide range of learners including early readers, older children who may be reluctant readers, those with learning difficulties, and learners for whom English is a second language. The activity pack is structured to be user-friendly, utilising phonics to teach reading in a fast and effective manner.

The course is comprised of eight reading books, starting with pre-reader levels that focus on initial sounds and word building. It progresses through various phonic sounds, teaching children how to blend sounds to read words. The final book delves into more complex sounds and introduces prefixes and suffixes. The method encourages children to learn sounds, read sentences, and match words and phrases to pictures, reinforcing their understanding through repetition. The pack also includes "look and say" words that are essential for vocabulary building. For those who seek additional assistance or resources, the publishers offer further titles and support via email.
