Blending sounds into words with movement-based activities
Blend sounds into words with this unique sticker! With the Blank Word Blending Sticker, you can introduce energetic, movement-based blending sounds activities to your young readers. Place this sticker in your classroom or hallway and begin building words as part of your daily routine. Blending words for kindergarten will be a breeze!
The Blank Word Blending Sticker is laminated with dry-erase material so that educators or students can write single or double letters in each of the eight blank blocks. A set of digital, printable cards is also included with the sticker. To use this sticker, select a card and place it in the blue square at the top of the sticker.
Each card has two or three letters that can be used to complete a word. For example, place the card “at” at the top of the sticker. On the blank blocks, write “c”, “d”, “r”, “z”, “bo”, “fn”, “he”, and “we”. Beginning at the start block, a student will hop on each block and blend the letter sounds on the block and the card together.
In this example, the first word blend will be “c-at”, or “cat”. Then, the student will tap on the “real word” circle in the block. They will continue down the mat and discover the real words “rat”, “boat”, and “heat”. They will identify the silly words “dat”, “zat”, “fnat”, and “weat”.
Endless Blending Examples
As a result of jumping on this sticker, young learners will know how to blend individual sounds and create reading words aloud. Above all, kids learn best while they are moving. Physical activity boosts learning comprehension and improves memory retention. It will also be highly engaging for your students!
As your students advance, have them write the letters on the sticker for each other. By reading and writing the letters, young students will improve their phonemic awareness, word recognition skills, and reading comprehension. Encourage active learning and collaborative play in your classroom!
