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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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! :)
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 😊
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 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!
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?
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.
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! 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.
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.
Yes. I'm struggling to get my special education low incidence Autism and ASD spectrum 1st grade student up to speed in his ELA skills and blending words. I need new, fresh, fun, and creative ideas for my students.
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.
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!"
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.
I have a 4 year old that I am trying to prepare for school. We have learned to write our name and we can recognize patterns. I am a dumb dumb and just very overwhelmed on knowing where he should be at this age. Your videos are very helpful!
Do you see many children blend the sounds backwards? Example it they say ti or sat they say tats. I am wondering if there is more there than just a blending issue.
This is definitely a common issue as students are first trying to blend. With the word "sat" for example, I'd have students do it orally first - /s/ /a/ /t/ --> "sat" You could even just break down the first two sounds together first. Then, move to print. If you continue to see it after lots of practice, there could be something else going on there as you mentioned.
Very helpful! Breaking up the word into 2 sounds helped immensely for my 5 year old. We are going through the Bob book series 1. However he often completely forgets a word that we had just spent time blending, sometimes in the same sentence. Is this normal? We can blend all words in a sentence but then he forgets the ones at the beginning of the sentence
Yes, this is totally normal! Their brain is doing A LOT to blend, so stamina will increase over time. I recommend just starting with shorter sentences that include only 1-2 words to blend.
@@learningattheprimarypond oh thank you for saying that! I seriously thought something was wrong. He normally has an excellent memory. Would you think it’s best to try and have him memorize all words as we go, or just focus on blending the next word?
Thank you for sharing thes helpful tips. I have a student who segments all sounds, even in sight words. She can blend sounds and eventually does say the word, but do you have any tips on how to help stop the constant segmenting?
Hey Amy! Does she segment them while reading sentences or only stand alone? I'd have her practice some fluency drills to help with the constant stopping! But it's great that she's able to segment!
She will stop on her own when she has orthographically mapped the words and can remember them. Reading the same books many times will help, because she will sound it out and sound it out until one day she won’t need to any more because she has done it enough times to remember. Trying to get children to stop before they’re ready can cause them to develop poor reading skills like guessing words that will make it harder to become a fluent reader in the long run. Sounding our words repeatedly is one of the best ways for a beginning reading to become a strong strong reader in the long run. Just have patience! I know it’s not always easy to listen to someone read that way but trust the process. She’s doing all the right things!
Thank you! I'm practicing the English for three days, but looks verry difficult; oh my god it's crazy d good. I love english and mathematic! Thank you...thank you! Are vidio amazing! Obs: I'm from brazil # I love american Obrigado por esses vídeos! Estou aprendendo o inglês há três dias, não sei se tô melhorando... .não consigo pensar em inglês e formar palavras de cabeça, queria saber se teria um jeito mais didático pra aprender rápido. Obrigado mais uma vez, amo seus vídeos ❤️❤️❤️
Great video btw! Though I have a question: How to introduce the four or five letter words to children who are stuck at reading three letter words? Thank you so much in advance!
Hi there! I think it depends why they are stuck. If they're stuck reading 3 letter words because of blending, I'd continue to stick with that, or maybe even just do 2 letter words.You can still introduce new sounds to them (like digraphs), but having them practice blending with 3 letter words is important until they are successful!
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.
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.
What do you think of teaching CVC words that rhyme. For example, teaching a child this group of words: bat, cat, fat, hat, mat, pat, sat. Is this a good way to teach reading?
I do work with kids on word families, so I think that's ok. I also think it's good to mix it up though so that kids are really having to blend (versus just rhmying.)
Yes - I'd start with tapping each sound in the word, then go back and slide underneath the first two sounds to blend those first. Then go back to the beginning of the word and slide your finger underneath all three sounds to blend together.
Yes, I'm going into my 3rd year of teaching SpEd so most of the students in my classroom have trouble with this. Also, I'm tutoring a student this summer who especially struggles with this skill.
Hi, so I have a little niece and she's three years old, I know that's where young to learn how to read but I can tell that she loves letters, so my question is, when is the kid ready to read? Do I have to teach them all the sounds I can start it from now? Like for example my little niece already recognized the three letters of mop, she still don't know how to blend them but she does know the sounds
Hi! It sounds like you are doing all of the right things! Yes, I'd continue to make sure she knows all the letters and sounds. But you can definitely have her start blending even two letter words like "it" or "up" if she knows both letters sounds!
Hi! I have a blog post on blends that may help with this question. Let me know what you think! learningattheprimarypond.com/blog/what-is-a-blend-what-are-some-ideas-for-teaching-blends/

Hi, I have a question, I want to teach this to my ESL students from 1rst to 3rd grade. They are learning english for the first time. Is it ok to add this item to the class? Thank u for ur answer🙏
Hi there! I definitely think ESL students can use these methods! It helps students learn to blend in order to form words. Even high school students could use this basic form of word-solving.
Hi Alison I really need your help my child is sounding out the words properly but when it's time to blend he changes the sound of the letters what should I do.. I feel like he's more memorizing the words rather than actually understanding what I'm teaching him .
Yes, instead she'd rather look at the picture and say it. With no pictures she just gets confused and I'm not a teacher so I find it difficult to to help her. So thank you so much for this video, hopefully I'll be able to help her.
My daughter is having trouble where she sounds it out correctly but then when blending shell skip the first sound! for example dot would be blended to ot. Any tips for that?
I'd use successive blending! So for that, she'd say /d/ /o/ /t/ (all three separate sounds), and then she'd go back and blend the first two sounds together to say /do/. Lastly she'd add on the final sound to say "dot." Let me know if this works!
Hi! I would definitely start with the strategies from this video! I also have another video that may be helpful, I'll share it with you here! :) th-cam.com/video/bKL-02NGyOA/w-d-xo.html
Hey Amy! That's amazing that he already knows his letter sounds! It might be a little early, but you could just try and see how it goes! Reading to him would be the very best thing at this stage :)
Exactly what I’ve been doing for years. Glad you are sharing

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.

l need your help please l am a Fred 5 please help
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.

I need help with my first grader.
Yes, instead she'd rather look at the picture and say it. With no pictures she just gets confused and I'm not a teacher so I find it difficult to to help her. So thank you so much for this video, hopefully I'll be able to help her.
Glad to hear these tips were helpful!!

My daughter is having trouble where she sounds it out correctly but then when blending shell skip the first sound! for example dot would be blended to ot. Any tips for that?
I'd use successive blending! So for that, she'd say /d/ /o/ /t/ (all three separate sounds), and then she'd go back and blend the first two sounds together to say /do/. Lastly she'd add on the final sound to say "dot." Let me know if this works!
Yes thanks for the tips

Can I tech my 2.6 year old this? Is it early? He knows the letter sounds now.
Hey Amy! That's amazing that he already knows his letter sounds! It might be a little early, but you could just try and see how it goes! Reading to him would be the very best thing at this stage :)
