Today our Saxon Lesson introduced Consonant Blends. (We are so excited!!! This is FUN teaching for us.) For those of you that don't know what a blend is in reading, here is the chant the students did 40 times today... A blend is two letters that come together to make ONE SOUND! :) We discussed how up to this time we have only learned sounds in isolation (ex. /s/ /t/ /m/ etc. ) Now we get to learn how two letters come together and make one sound.
This lesson was just a step into blend work. by discussing the "Bestie Friendship" that letter S has with other letters. We talked about the following the blends for s: /sm/ /sn/ /sc/ /sh/ /sl/ /sk/ /sw/ /st/ and /sp/. (If your child is unable to read them or produce the blend sound- DO NOT PANIC!! We are just starting!) Here is a picture of the work we did today on our paper. We recognized the blends in the words and colored them. After that we watched a slideshow for /sl/ and figured out whether it was the S sound in isolation or the SL blend. Check it out at the end of the post, along with a short Youtube video!
