Exactly what I’ve been doing for years. Glad you are sharing
Reading specialist here. My kindergartners do best when I blend the first two sounds together during ECRI and when using decodable readers. It is similar to your last strategy, but a little different.
That's great to hear!
I have a student who is really struggling with blending. I will try a few of these tips this morning! Thank you!
Good luck!!
These five tips are very helpful for me to figure out how to teach blending sound. As a nonnative speaker teaching English, this video let me understand how to teach it more easily and clearly.
Glad it was helpful!
The continuous sound tip was a big hit this year! Thank you for this video where I learned it :)
Suggesting that the child blend two sounds before adding the third (or more) is very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
@@learningattheprimarypond ooooooo ooooooo
Incredible! Caught myself smiling at the simplicity and accuracy of everything you taught in this video!
Aw, so good to hear!
Thank you for making this simple video! I have been beginning to teach my students to blend two sounds and then the third. It is taking some rewiring for me after years of doing it differently, but I see the difference! I plan to share this video with my families who have students needing more practice with CVC. It is great!
That's great to hear!
Have you ever had students who really struggled with blending? Leave me a “yes” in the comments if you have!
Yes
Yes. My son is in 2nd grade and struggling.

I’m working with a student with special needs this summer who is entering first in the fall. She’s having trouble blending so I am definitely going to try these tips with her next week. Thanks so much!
Good luck!!
Have twins that developed their own language early on. Now they're well past that at almost 8yrs, but speech and reading are harder than normal. Speaking leaves things like the "r" sounding like a "w" and an "s" sounding like "sh" - not all the time but very commonly. They can do great on spelling tests reinforcing memory recall, but really have trouble with blending. They're a bit behind for their grades but not so much that they've been held back. I'd like to use this video to see if there is a better way to teach them at home! I like the way you instructed here.
Glad it can be helpful for your twins!
So nice to see this! I've been doing the same things with my class, and now you just confirmed that my ideas for teaching them were good. Super happy! I subscribed! :)
Yay! I'm so glad this helps; glad to have you as a subscriber!

Watching all your videos for my kindergartener! Cant wait to apply all your tips!
Best of luck!!
Yes, answer to a prayer from my heart! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Great video. Very helpful for my 3 year old!
We use the programme Read Write Ink- by Ruth Miskin in our school. It's AMAZING to see how quickly the children begin to blend sounds to read words!
Thank you, excellent suggestions. I work with adult learners and blending sounds is very challenging for them. They are also non-native English speakers. Will be using these tips next week.
Glad to hear these are helpful for adults as well!
Yes!
Im homeschooling my son. He innately started blending the last two letters of cvc words. I was a little worried that would be a problem so I'm happy to hear breaking it up into smaller bits is okay! We still get the "d-ooo-ggg...it says tree!" and I'm still at a loss for that conundrum. 🤔😳😝
Thanks for the video!
How cool that he started blending on his own! If he does say something like "tree" for "dog," my rec would be to say "Tell me why you think that word is 'tree'" to see if he can "defend" his thinking! My guess is he'll say ooooh wait, it's not "tree!"
Thanks...from🇺🇬 love the video
Yes. My 1st grader having trouble with blending. I use the Wilson Reading System, but now your tips about continuous sounds and others may help this skill development. Thank you!
You're welcome!!
you're teaching the subject I learned a lot of things from you are so thank you and we love you so much thank you so much
I'm an early childhood teacher and I 100% agree with your tips!
Yay! Great to hear.
You have been a great help to me, as an individual I have been strongly with myself when it comes to spelling and punctuation, I almost give up on myself but God helped me to come across your videos on TH-cam. And I have been following and I'm learning allot. But I want to be perfect pls help me out.
Hoping this video and others on my channel are helpful for you!
thank you for teaching me it help me to remember it
THANKS FOR THESE. BIG HELP...
I find your videos so helpful. Thank you!
Great tips for blending! Thank you! 🥰
Thank for this! My daughter just started with cvc. We started with blending VC then we did some CV. I find that it’s easier for her to blend
CV/C ( MA/T) than C/VC. Not really sure if there is a right or wrong way but it’s working out for her 😊
How cool that you're trying a bunch of strategies and finding one that works for you and your daughter!
I do this as well. It is easier but great tips!
This is called body-coda blending and developmentally it comes before onset-rime blending, but not all programs and sequences include it. Both of these come before sound by sound blending, which comes before whole word blending. Good luck on your journey!
Yes, my son is struggled with blending
Thank you
Oh this really helped me under blending better! We are using the All About Reading program and me actually being able to hear how to model blending for my girls is super helpful! It’s also nice to have a a few other ideas of ways to demonstrate how to blend to them.
Great to hear!

Yes
My son is in kindergarten and they are making it seem like he is so behind because he is having trouble blending the words. However, he never went to pre k and he is doing so good for his first year and I feel like it’s making him not like school..
Yes! Thank you I will be trying your tips tomorrow
This has been such a struggle for a few of my students. So happy to find this. Why isn't /h/ a continuous sound?
If you are having /h/ as a continuous sound, there's most likely a vowel sound being added to the end like the short "u." On it's own, /h/ is not continuous.
Thank you for the video! I have an autistic child that finds reading difficult, she knows her sounds but blending has been the issue.
Hoping this video helps!
Try practicing blending out loud first, just saying the sounds and ask her what the word is. If this is too difficult, go back to wherever she’s at. This is the order for blending:
Compound words (/fire/ /work/, firework)
Syllable (/bu/ /ter/ /fly/, butterfly)
Body-coda (/ca/ /t/, cat)
Onset-rime (/c/ /at/, cat)
2 phoneme (/a/ /t/, at)
3 phoneme (/c/ /a/ /t/, cat)
And it keeps going from there, but this is a good time to introduce trying to sound out CVC words she’s mastered blending three sounds orally. Heggerty phonemic awareness curriculum is a great resource for working on phonological and phonemic awareness. It’s designed for the classroom so kind of expensive for home use however they have free summer bridge lessons that might give you some ideas for activities to do. And if it works for your child, the full curriculums are 100% worth their money - I’ve bought two of them myself and I’m considering a third to use with my children and in my classroom. Don’t worry about the grade levels listed, just do whichever ones your daughter can be successful with.
Very good explanation in all your videos.
Thank you!!

@@sugarhoneysweets Yes, she's 2 and a half. Is it too early for her to blend?
Yes thank
Very good 👍
Yes! My child will begin 2nd grade now in August and was recently diagnosed with adhd. He knows most of the sounds but it struggles when moving from one sound to the other because he makes a hard stop in each sound, for example c/a/r. He doesn’t get how the c and the a together sounds.
Hoping this video was helpful!!

Glad to hear these tips were helpful!!
Yes! My 5 yr old daughter has trouble blending sounds and learning sight words. Currently enrolling in private school where she will have to be retained into kindergarten.
Hoping all goes smoothly!
I don't know if this helps but both my kids remember word because I did picture sight words which is picture in the sight word for example the word see would have 2eyes in the ee letters. Hope this helps.
Great idea, will be trying them
Love this, thank u so much

That's great!
Yes!
Thank you
I work in a care home with people with learning differences and I think this would be brilliant for them as they don't know how to read
Hoping it's helpful!!
Yes I do. My strugglers seem to change one of the sounds. For example: bed. We'll go through the sounds /b/ /e/ /d/ and they can do that. But then they will either change the first sound and say led or change the last sound and say ben (or some variation of those words). Any suggestions?
Hey Stacie! I really recommend going from saying individual sounds to then blending the first two sounds together. Lastly, add on the third sound.
