Put the sounds together in words like “hat,” “car,” and “dog”! The Blending Words lesson plan is a great resource for kindergarteners and first graders who are developing phonological awareness and learning about blending syllables. Specifically highlighting common consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) pattern words, this activity challenges students to blend individual letter sounds in sight words. First, they will segment out the letter sounds, and then they will blend them all together! This lesson also recommends using a toy car as a helpful teaching aid.
