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.
That's great to hear!
Suggesting that the child blend two sounds before adding the third (or more) is very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
@@learningattheprimarypond ooooooo ooooooo
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.
Glad it was helpful!
I have a student who is really struggling with blending. I will try a few of these tips this morning! Thank you!
Good luck!!
The continuous sound tip was a big hit this year! Thank you for this video where I learned it :)
Incredible! Caught myself smiling at the simplicity and accuracy of everything you taught in this video!
Aw, so good to hear!
We use the programme Read Write Ink- by Ruth Miskin in our school. It's AMAZING to see how quickly the children begin to blend sounds to read words!
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!
Good luck!!
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.
Glad it can be helpful for your twins!
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!"
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!
That's great to hear!
I'm an early childhood teacher and I 100% agree with your tips!
Yay! Great to hear.
Yes, answer to a prayer from my heart! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Great video. Very helpful for my 3 year old!
Thanks...from🇺🇬 love the video
Watching all your videos for my kindergartener! Cant wait to apply all your tips!
Best of luck!!
Yes, I have students who struggle with blending sounds

And I have been following and I'm learning allot. But I want to be perfect pls help me out.
Hoping this video and others on my channel are helpful for you!

Yes
Yes I'm having the same issue.
Yes. Home school mom here with my 2 year old struggling to blend.
Same. 2.5 yo
He is 2.
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!
Aw, thanks! Sounds like you're doing a lot of great work with him already :)
YES! Thanks for the tips!
My sons in 1st grade and is struggling with blending, thank you for your video!
You're welcome!
I find your videos so helpful. Thank you!
Yes! At least 3 this year
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 😊
How cool that you're trying a bunch of strategies and finding one that works for you and your daughter!
I do this as well. It is easier but great tips!
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!
Yes, my son is struggled with blending
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.
Great thank you
Thank you for the video! I have an autistic child that finds reading difficult, she knows her sounds but blending has been the issue.
Hoping this video helps!
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.
Thank you for sharing this tips. Very help full
Yes, currently teaching a child with dyslexia. He is 13 and just diagnosed. Every help will be appreciated.
Hoping you find some helpful tips on my channel!
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.
Great to hear!

Yes! My daughter does segmenting with me well but will say the word backwards when blending it. Tap turns into pat. She’s 5 turning 6 in November.
Hopefully these tips are helpful!
Thank you. This has been helpful.
So glad to hear that!
Yes, instead she'd rather look at the picture and say it. With no pictures she just gets confused and I'm not a teacher so I find it difficult to to help her. So thank you so much for this video, hopefully I'll be able to help her.
Glad to hear these tips were helpful!!
Thanks for sharing this tips
Thank you for your method. Nice 👍
Yes thank
Very good 👍
Yes
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.
Hoping this video was helpful!!

Hoping all goes smoothly!
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.

Yes my daughter is struggling !
Hope these tips are helpful!
Thank you it is so helpful

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!!! We are struggling. I've tried so many different ways and I'm at a lost on how to help
Hoping these ideas helped!!
This is how my son is learning to read. Abeka teaches blends then will add a constant to create a cvc word.
yes
This has been such a struggle for a few of my students. So happy to find this. Why isn't /h/ a continuous sound?
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 1:49
Thanks
Great idea, will be trying them
Yes having trouble blending
YES!
Yes I have 2 students that have short attention span and also a student that has to use hearing aid and cannot pronounce her words clearly.🙌🙏😊
Yes i do
My 4 year old daughter knows all the phonics but blending is hard work....we are going to start with 2 sounds as you mentioned yes thank you for confirming it for me...
Blending IS so hard! I hope that trick helps!
Same
Exact situation with my 4 year old son knows all letter sounds but struggles to blend by end of the ht year I hope he can read.. Let's not lose hope 💪🙏

She's all good now we are on the segmenting and she does great.
Love this, thank u so much
You're welcome!
Yes.
Yes, my kids struggle with blanding . Some get it Wright with the aid of objectd
Yes I have kinders who ate really struggling
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?
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 ....my son ....he is going to be 4 soon .....but dhows problem in blending...hopefully ur tricks will help
Yes my grandson has difficulty
Have tried everything but tip #5. Looking forward to trying that out
