 Blends and Digraphs Chart

This chart contains the most common blends, consonant digraphs, clusters, and silent clusters (kn) and an anchor picture for each. It is recommended that teachers/parents use this as a reference for beginning and/or struggling writers. If a child hesitates when writing a word with a blend at the beginning, ask him or her to look at the chart. Do they see a picture of something that starts like the word they're trying to spell? Reproduce and laminate this chart to place in writing folders or to use in small writing groups, and/or for tutorial sessions. Enlarge at Kinkos to poster size and read it like you would the Alphabet Chart for automaticity.

Blends Poster Project

This poster project idea came from Jaime, a first grade teacher. She posted it on www.Teachers.net  and I asked her if she would mind sharing it on this page. It's a great project to enhance the phonemic awareness of initial blends while working together as a family at home. Let me know what you think so that I can pass the compliments on to Jaime. On reflection, I think this project would work well for lots of other skills! Thanks again, Jaime!

Included in the packet: letter to parents, sample and scoring rubric.
