S Blends Printable Phonics Game

Learning about blends is an important phonics skill.
 
Consonant blends are two or three consonant letters that appear together in a syllable or word. Each letter in a blend retains its own sound which is blended together.  

Blends can be at the beginning or ending of a syllable or word. Examples of blends are sm as in smile and spr as in spring. 

This week I created a free, new, printable Blends Game for you to use with your students. This game includes the S Blends: sm, sn, sp, st, and sw.

S BLENDS PRINTABLE GAME

Learning about blends will help children's ability to read words.

Some of the words included are smile, snack, spoon, stay, sweet, snow, spin, stop, smog, and swing.

The game which is often used with kindergarten and first grade students is one page and can be downloaded with your printer! It is very easy to use! Just Print and Go! You can use dice or a spinner with the game.


The children can use the game to practice and review basic reading skills. 

I usually laminate my game boards or put them in a plastic sleeve for durability.


The Blends Game can be downloaded at my website anytime at your convenience. 

This free printable game is posted at my website. Click below:

I hope your students enjoy the game and improve their reading skills.

Fun Consonant Digraph Games for Kindergarten & 1st Grade

Digraphs are 2 letters of the alphabet that together make one single sound. Examples of consonant digraphs are ch, sh, th, wh, and ph.

Learning digraph sounds will help children's ability to read words.


Learning each digraph separately is recommended. Then, lessons involving multiple digraphs can be introduced. 

Digraphs are usually taught in Kindergarten and Grade 1.





After students have learned about the digraphs ch and sh, they could try my free digital game available in my Boom Learning Store or my TPT Store.
