Thank you for making this simple video! I have been beginning to teach my students to blend two sounds and then the third. It is taking some rewiring for me after years of doing it differently, but I see the difference! I plan to share this video with my families who have students needing more practice with CVC. It is great!
These five tips are very helpful for me to figure out how to teach blending sound. As a nonnative speaker teaching English, this video let me understand how to teach it more easily and clearly.
I’m working with a student with special needs this summer who is entering first in the fall. She’s having trouble blending so I am definitely going to try these tips with her next week. Thanks so much!
Reading specialist here. My kindergartners do best when I blend the first two sounds together during ECRI and when using decodable readers. It is similar to your last strategy, but a little different.
Have twins that developed their own language early on. Now they're well past that at almost 8yrs, but speech and reading are harder than normal. Speaking leaves things like the "r" sounding like a "w" and an "s" sounding like "sh" - not all the time but very commonly. They can do great on spelling tests reinforcing memory recall, but really have trouble with blending. They're a bit behind for their grades but not so much that they've been held back. I'd like to use this video to see if there is a better way to teach them at home! I like the way you instructed here.
You have been a great help to me, as an individual I have been strongly with myself when it comes to spelling and punctuation, I almost give up on myself but God helped me to come across your videos on UA-cam. And I have been following and I'm learning allot. But I want to be perfect pls help me out.
Thank you, excellent suggestions. I work with adult learners and blending sounds is very challenging for them. They are also non-native English speakers. Will be using these tips next week.
So nice to see this! I've been doing the same things with my class, and now you just confirmed that my ideas for teaching them were good. Super happy! I subscribed! :)
Yes. My 1st grader having trouble with blending. I use the Wilson Reading System, but now your tips about continuous sounds and others may help this skill development. Thank you!
Thank for this! My daughter just started with cvc. We started with blending VC then we did some CV. I find that it’s easier for her to blend CV/C ( MA/T) than C/VC. Not really sure if there is a right or wrong way but it’s working out for her 😊
This is called body-coda blending and developmentally it comes before onset-rime blending, but not all programs and sequences include it. Both of these come before sound by sound blending, which comes before whole word blending. Good luck on your journey!
I have a 4 year old that I am trying to prepare for school. We have learned to write our name and we can recognize patterns. I am a dumb dumb and just very overwhelmed on knowing where he should be at this age. Your videos are very helpful!
Try practicing blending out loud first, just saying the sounds and ask her what the word is. If this is too difficult, go back to wherever she’s at. This is the order for blending: Compound words (/fire/ /work/, firework) Syllable (/bu/ /ter/ /fly/, butterfly) Body-coda (/ca/ /t/, cat) Onset-rime (/c/ /at/, cat) 2 phoneme (/a/ /t/, at) 3 phoneme (/c/ /a/ /t/, cat) And it keeps going from there, but this is a good time to introduce trying to sound out CVC words she’s mastered blending three sounds orally. Heggerty phonemic awareness curriculum is a great resource for working on phonological and phonemic awareness. It’s designed for the classroom so kind of expensive for home use however they have free summer bridge lessons that might give you some ideas for activities to do. And if it works for your child, the full curriculums are 100% worth their money - I’ve bought two of them myself and I’m considering a third to use with my children and in my classroom. Don’t worry about the grade levels listed, just do whichever ones your daughter can be successful with.
Yes. I'm struggling to get my special education low incidence Autism and ASD spectrum 1st grade student up to speed in his ELA skills and blending words. I need new, fresh, fun, and creative ideas for my students.
Oh this really helped me under blending better! We are using the All About Reading program and me actually being able to hear how to model blending for my girls is super helpful! It’s also nice to have a a few other ideas of ways to demonstrate how to blend to them.
My son is in kindergarten and they are making it seem like he is so behind because he is having trouble blending the words. However, he never went to pre k and he is doing so good for his first year and I feel like it’s making him not like school..
Yes! Im homeschooling my son. He innately started blending the last two letters of cvc words. I was a little worried that would be a problem so I'm happy to hear breaking it up into smaller bits is okay! We still get the "d-ooo-ggg...it says tree!" and I'm still at a loss for that conundrum. 🤔😳😝 Thanks for the video!
How cool that he started blending on his own! If he does say something like "tree" for "dog," my rec would be to say "Tell me why you think that word is 'tree'" to see if he can "defend" his thinking! My guess is he'll say ooooh wait, it's not "tree!"
Yes! My 5 yr old daughter has trouble blending sounds and learning sight words. Currently enrolling in private school where she will have to be retained into kindergarten.
I don't know if this helps but both my kids remember word because I did picture sight words which is picture in the sight word for example the word see would have 2eyes in the ee letters. Hope this helps.
If you are having /h/ as a continuous sound, there's most likely a vowel sound being added to the end like the short "u." On it's own, /h/ is not continuous.
Yes I do. My strugglers seem to change one of the sounds. For example: bed. We'll go through the sounds /b/ /e/ /d/ and they can do that. But then they will either change the first sound and say led or change the last sound and say ben (or some variation of those words). Any suggestions?
Yes, I'm going into my 3rd year of teaching SpEd so most of the students in my classroom have trouble with this. Also, I'm tutoring a student this summer who especially struggles with this skill.
Thank you! I'm practicing the English for three days, but looks verry difficult; oh my god it's crazy d good. I love english and mathematic! Thank you...thank you! Are vidio amazing! Obs: I'm from brazil # I love american Obrigado por esses vídeos! Estou aprendendo o inglês há três dias, não sei se tô melhorando... .não consigo pensar em inglês e formar palavras de cabeça, queria saber se teria um jeito mais didático pra aprender rápido. Obrigado mais uma vez, amo seus vídeos ❤️❤️❤️
Yes! My child will begin 2nd grade now in August and was recently diagnosed with adhd. He knows most of the sounds but it struggles when moving from one sound to the other because he makes a hard stop in each sound, for example c/a/r. He doesn’t get how the c and the a together sounds.
Exactly what I’ve been doing for years. Glad you are sharing

Suggesting that the child blend two sounds before adding the third (or more) is very helpful. Thank you!

This has been such a struggle for a few of my students. So happy to find this. Why isn't /h/ a continuous sound?

Hey Stacie! I really recommend going from saying individual sounds to then blending the first two sounds together. Lastly, add on the third sound.
Yes, I have a few students who would benefit from blending strategies.
Yes, I'm going into my 3rd year of teaching SpEd so most of the students in my classroom have trouble with this. Also, I'm tutoring a student this summer who especially struggles with this skill.
