Today
boys
and
girls
we
will
be
learning
how
to
blend
the
sounds
of
letters
to
say
 words.

Blending
the
sounds
of
letters
to
say
words
is
a
very
important
part
of
 learning
how
to
read
words.

Reading
is
one
the
important
things
you
will
learn
in
 kindergarten
and
first
grade
to
help
you
learn
about
many
other
things.
 
 


Modeling











I
will
model
for
you
how
to
blend
the
sounds
of
letters
in
words.

Here
is
a
word,
 fan.

I
want
to
blend
the
sounds
of
the
letters
to
say
the
word.

To
blend
the
 letter
sounds
in
this
word
I
begin
with
the
first
letter
in
the
word
–
f
(point
to
the
 letter).

I
think
to
myself,
this
is
the
letter
f
and
I
know
that
the
sound
that
this
 letter
makes
is
/f/.

So,
I
say
/f/.

I
look
at
the
second
letter
in
the
word
–
a
(point
 to
the
letter).

I
need
to
learn
a
hint
about
three
letter
words
with
a
vowel
letter
 in
the
middle,
the
hint
is
this
‐
the
middle
vowel
letter
in
a
three
letter
word
 makes
its
sound.

So,
I
think
to
myself,
this
is
the
letter
a
it
makes
the
/a/
sound.



Students
are
to
attend
to
the
 teacher’s
demonstration
 during
this
modeling
part
of
 the
lesson


•


 
 


Write
a
 chart
 showing
 the
steps
 for
the
 students.


So,
I
say
/a/.

Then
I
say
the
first
sound
in
the
word,
/f/
and
then
the
second
 sound
in
the
word,
/a/.

Next
I
look
at
the
third
letter
in
the
word
–
n
(point
to
 the
letter).


I
think
to
myself,
this
is
the
letter
n
and
I
know
that
the
sound
that
 this
letter
makes
is
/n/.

Then
I
say
the
first
sound
in
the
word,
/f/
and
then
the
 second
sound
in
the
word,
/a/,
and
the
third
sound
in
the
word,
/n/.

Then
I
say
 the
three
sounds
in
order
again
a
little
faster
like
this,
/f/
/a/
/n/.

I
say
them
 again
even
faster….
I
listen
as
I
say
them
faster
and
begin
to
blend
the
sounds
 together
to
hear
a
word….
the
word
I
hear
when
I
say
the
sounds
in
order
fast
is
 /fan/.


















 
 
 
 



 
 
 


Guided
Practice





“Let’s
practice
blending
some
sounds
of
letters
in
words
to
say
words
together.”











Here
is
a
word,
sit,
we
want
to
blend
the
sounds
of
the
letters
to
say
the
word.
To
 
 blend
the
letter
sounds
in
this
word
I
begin
with
the
first
letter
in
the
word
–
s
 
 (point
to
the
letter).

I
think
to
myself,
this
is
the
letter
s
and
I
know
that
the
 sound
that
this
letter
makes
is
/s/.

So,
I
say
/s/.

Now,
you
look
at
the
second

Point
to
 the
steps
 in
the
 chart
as
 you
do
 them.


letter
in
the
word
–
i
(point
to
the
letter).

Remember
you
learned
about
a
hint
 telling
you
that
when
you
see
a
three
letter
word
with
a
vowel
letter
in
the
 middle,
the
middle
vowel
letter
in
a
three
letter
word
makes
its
sound.

So,
you
 think
to
yourselves,
this
is
the
letter
i
(point)
it
makes
what
sound
/i/?

So,
you
 say
sound
‐
/i/.

Then
I
say
the
first
sound
in
the
word,
/s/
and
then
you
say
the
 second
sound
in
the
word,
/i/.

Next
I
look
at
the
third
letter
in
the
word
–
t
 (point
to
the
letter).


I
think
to
myself,
this
is
the
letter
t
and
I
know
that
the
 sound
that
this
letter
makes
is
/t/.

Then
I
say
the
first
sound
in
the
word,
/s/
and
 then
you
say
the
second
sound
in
the
word,
/i/,
and
the
third
sound
in
the
word,
 /t/.

Then
we
say
the
three
sounds
in
order
again
a
little
faster
like
this,
/s/
/i/
/t/.

 Now
you
say
the
three
sounds
with
me
again
even
faster….
We
listen
as
we
say
 them
faster
and
begin
to
blend
the
sounds
together
to
hear
a
word….
(Blend
 sounds
at
least
twice
together).
The
word
we
hear
when
we
say
the
sounds
in
 order
fast
is
/sit/.

































































Now
I
we
are
going
to
try
a
third
word,
and
I
am
going
to
share
more
of
blending
 the
letter
sounds
to
say
a
word
with
you.
Here
is
another
word,
rat,
we
want
to
 blend
the
sounds
of
the
letters
to
say
the
word.
To
blend
the
letter
sounds
in
this
 word
I
begin
with
the
first
letter
in
the
word
–
r
(point
to
the
letter).

You
think
to
 yourself,
this
is
the
letter
r
and
we
know
that
the
sound
that
this
letter
makes
is
 /r/.

So,
you
say
/r/.

Now,
I
look
at
the
second
letter
in
the
word
–
a
(point
to
the
 letter).

I
remember
the
hint
telling
me
that
when
I
see
a
three
letter
word
with
a
 vowel
letter
in
the
middle,
the
middle
vowel
letter
in
a
three
letter
word
makes
 its
sound.

So,
I
think
to
myself,
this
is
the
letter
a
(point)
it
makes
the
/i/
sound.

 So,
I
say
sound
‐
/a/.

Then
you
say
the
first
sound
in
the
word,
/r/
and
then
I
say
 the
second
sound
in
the
word,
/a/.

Next
you
look
at
the
third
letter
in
the
word
–






































t
(point
to
the
letter).


You
think
to
yourself,
this
is
the
letter
t
and
we
know
that
 the
sound
that
this
letter
makes
is
/t/.


You
say
what
sound;
/t/
that
is
correct.
 Then
you
say
the
first
sound
in
the
word,
/r/
and
then
I
say
the
second
sound
in
 the
word,
/a/,
and
you
say
the
third
sound
in
the
word,
/t/.

Then
we
say
the
 three
sounds
in
order
again
a
little
faster
like
this,
/r/
/a/
/t/.

Now
you
say
the
 three
sounds
with
me
again
even
faster….
We
listen
as
we
say
them
faster
and
 begin
to
blend
the
sounds
together
to
hear
a
word….
(Blend
sounds
at
least
twice
 together).
The
word
we
hear
when
we
say
the
sounds
in
order
fast
is
/rat/.

Point
to
 the
steps
 in
the
 chart
as
 you
do
 them.
 



 
 
 





Continue
guided
practice
over
several
days
using
at
least
six
words
per
day
 gradually
sharing
away
the
steps
of
blending
with
the
group.











Make
a
bookmark
 with
the
steps
on
 the
chart
for
use
 by
individuals.



 Then
move
this
process
into
small
groups
blending
cvc
words
together
for
 several
more
days
before
asking
individual
students
to
blend
the
letter
sounds
 together
to
say
words.
 


Independent
Practice
 “Now,
you
will
blend
the
letter
sounds
together
to
say
words
on
your
own.”
 





Assessment
 “Show
me
how
you
…”
 
 








Give
individual
 students
some
 cvc
words
to
 blend
with
you
 every
10
days.


 At
several
points
 in
the
year
give
 students
the
 DIBELS
nonsense
 word
fluency
test
 and
check
their
 abilities
to
blend.
