Parent & Carers Guide to Blending Words for Reading
This video explains how to get your child reading by blending the sounds in words together. At St Anne's we also use our 'phoneme fingers' and initially use sound buttons under each individual phoneme or a digraph line under the digraphs or trigraphs on the flash cards. Please see the handout from the Literacy Parent Workshop in September for more information or talk to me for more advice.
