Description
How to Teach S Blends
This blending s blends activity helps children hear and read words that start with an s blend. A blend is two consonants whose sounds glide together, like the s and n at the start of snake. Children match picture cards to word cards and then sort the words by their blend: sn, sk, sl, st or sp. The activity is made for 1st grade and 2nd grade, and an answer key is included.
How to Use the Activity
Print the pages one-sided and cut the cards apart. Children lay out all 30 cards, pick a picture card, say its name, and find the word card that names it, such as the spider card and the word spider. Then they read the word, look at its first two letters, and write it under its blend on the Blend Bowls page. A 1st grade practice page asks children to say each picture name and write the two letters that start the word. This s blends matching game works well in a literacy center, a small group, or as partner practice.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with steps and prep
- 30 match cards: 15 picture cards and 15 word cards
- A Blend Bowls recording page for sn, sk, sl, st and sp
- A 1st grade practice worksheet: write the blend
- Answer keys for the card matches, the Blend Bowls page and the practice page
Why This Activity Helps Kids
- Saying each picture name trains children to hear both sounds in a blend.
- Matching pictures to words builds reading and vocabulary.
- Sorting and writing the words ties sounds to spelling patterns.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Play it as a memory game by turning all the cards face down. Ask children to think of one more word for each blend and add it to the Blend Bowls page. Use the blending s blends activity again as a quick review before a spelling test.
