Ending Blends: Word Practice

Explicit Instruction/Teacher modeling

• Show the students the Consonant Endings video.
• List NK, LK, NT, MP, and ND on the board.
• Have your students list the words they heard in the video.
• Ask the students if they know any words that rhyme with the words listed.
• Categorize the words according to their consonant endings.
• Some examples may include drink, silk, sent, camp, and land.

Guided Practice

• Play hangman as a class or have 2 groups compete against each other.
• Use words that have already been discussed in the lesson.
• Write the ending blend in the word so that students just have to guess the vowel and beginning consonant to complete the word.

Independent working time

• Give students the Ending Blends worksheet.
• Read the instructions to the students.
• Give the students time to complete the assignment.
• Collect the worksheet for grading.
