The Consonant Blends and O Sounds Book:
Has dozens of activities with lots of repetition to learn the sounds. Includes all the blends and o sounds so teachers can be sure their students are learning all sounds

Skills taught:

1. My Cute Picture Match-Up Games teach:  beginning and end blends,  O sounds - oo, ow, oi, oy, ou, or, oa, old,  sorting and classifying,  decoding and blending. 2. My Fun Little Sorting Ladders teach:  beginning consonant blends,  consonant end blends,  sorting and classifying,  decoding and blending. 3. My Sight Word Pattern Booklets teach:  short vowels,  o sounds,  progressively more difficult sight word vocabulary,  oral reading and decoding with the words in context,  practice printing, punctuation, and capitalization.

Formats used:

1. My Cute Picture Match-Up Games are Sorting Games for Blends and O Sounds that sort the words under the correct sound. There are two cartoons at the top for fun. This multi-sensory approach to learning new words helps reinforce the sounds.

2. My Fun Little Sorting Ladders are Blending Sorting Games that use a different format to sort the sounds under the correct sound. The students have fun learning some of the trickier phonics sounds as they "play" these little games. The students practice their sorting and classifying skills, too.

3. My Sight Word Pattern Book is an O Sound booklet that the teacher photocopies for the student. The phenograms at the top and the sight words below are patterned in sentences. The repetition helps the students learn both their sounds and the new sight word vocabulary. They practice oral reading with the words in context.
