About this resource
Description
Words like bright, great and proud all start with an r blend: two consonants that slide together so both sounds can be heard. The feeling bright great and proud r consonant blends activity helps 1st and 2nd grade students read and sort words that begin with br, tr, gr, fr and pr.
The pack has twenty word cards, each word printed on a big, cheerful balloon. Children pick a balloon card, read the word, look at its first two letters and place it on the Balloon Sort Mats next to the matching blend. Every blend has its own card spot, with the blend label beside it so it never gets covered. When the sort is done, children read each group aloud. A 1st grade practice worksheet has six sentences, and students write br, tr, gr, fr or pr to finish the missing word.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover and a How to Use page
- 20 balloon word cards, four for each r blend
- Three Balloon Sort Mats
- A 1st grade practice worksheet
- Answer keys for the sort and the practice page
Why This R Blends Activity Helps Kids
First, sorting by the first two letters trains children to look at the whole blend instead of guessing from the first letter. Second, reading each sorted group aloud builds fluency with words that share a sound pattern. Third, the sentence practice moves the skill into spelling, so children connect the sound of a blend to the letters that write it.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Use the feeling bright great and proud r consonant blends activity at a word work center, with a small phonics group, or as a quick partner game. Time the sort and try to beat your best time. This first grade r blends activity also works at home with a few cards at a time.
