in either the beginning, middle or end of each
word e.g. /bin/...where is the /i/? (in the middle)
where is the/n/? (at the end).

accompany the letter.

Blending.
Ideas for Parents.
1. With blending, the first sound needs to be said
louder than the other sounds.
2. Parents should make the sounds in the word on
the slide first e.g. /r/ /a/ /t/ and then say the
complete word.
3. Encourage your child to repeat what you have
just done.
4. Children will need plenty of practice before they
have fully mastered the skill of blending.

Reading Sentences.
The children will need lots of help and encouragement
at this stage. You can help your child by sounding out
the words in the sentence and then reading the full
sentence aloud. Please use your finger to point at the
individual words in the sentence. I have included some
words from the children’s reading books in the
sentences. These words can be read without sounding
them out.
