Say the chunk, then swap the start
Write -ack on the board and have the class chant it together. Then hold up one letter card at a time in front of it: b, p, s, tr. Kids blend the start sound with the chunk out loud. Finish with the ACK worksheet so they read and write the same family on their own.
Why it works: teaching letter sounds directly and in order is one of the best-supported findings in reading research (National Reading Panel, 2000).
