Once a child is conscious of the sounds that comprise words, the mapping of the sounds to the alphabetic system occurs with much greater ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe phonemic awareness pre-requisite for reading simple regular CVC [consonant-vowel-consonant] words such as ‘fig’, ‘tin’ and ‘mat’ is the skill of blending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst students must learn to blend at an onset and rime level. E.g. ‘Listen carefully and put these sounds together and guess this word:’ ‘f’ (one second pause) ‘ig’?’\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStudents then learn to blend at the phonemic or individual sound level: E.g. ‘Listen carefully and put these sounds together and guess this word; ‘m’ (one second pause) ‘a’ (one second pause) ‘t’? Answer: ‘mat’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Phonemic Awareness Skill for Reading: Blending\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDespite the research supporting the importance of blending, this skill is too often overlooked. The negative side of presenting reading activities without attention to the pre-requisite skill is that it does not set up all children for success. Within \u003cem\u003eLearning to Blend Onset and Rime for Early Years and Foundation\u003c\/em\u003e, the phonemic awareness skill of blending is targeted. Blending represents an immediate precursor to decoding ability. The colour card sets form the basis of short explicit instruction sessions. The scripted instructions provide clear guidelines on how to effectively teach blending. When this program is used in conjunction with screening this program forms a significant component in a school’s preventative\/early intervention strategy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eA no-preparation required spiral bound A5 full colour flip book.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\/Note from the author.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eOver 40 coloured picture which develop the skill of blending.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eEach card has specific scripted instructions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eA progress check\/skill assessment to review readiness for reading.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAim for 2-3 minutes of blending several times a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"487\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HQI1PSSl1cw\" width=\"777\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PLD Literacy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53559160045841,"sku":"PLD-L2B1","price":75.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/7786\/8817\/files\/PLD-L2B1.png?v=1778758677","url":"https:\/\/www.teachersuperstore.com.au\/products\/learning-to-blend-onset-and-rime","provider":"Teacher Superstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
