Beginning Consonant Blends Activities

Discover the TallyTales Beginning Consonant Blends MegaPack: Bingo, Stories, Poems, Sorts, & Much More!—a comprehensive resource designed to make teaching consonant blends engaging and effective. This all-in-one beginning consonant blends ctivities pack includes a wide variety of activities targeting s-blends, r-blends, l-blends, w-blends, and trigraphs (also known as clusters). Activities are thoughtfully scaffolded, making the MegaPack ideal for beginning readers who are just being introduced to blends as well as for more advanced students who need additional practice or review. With multiple formats and levels of challenge, this resource supports differentiation, small groups, whole-class instruction, and independent practice. Created by an educator for educators, the MegaPack is intentionally adaptable to meet the needs of diverse learners across grade levels, learning styles, and instructional settings.

What's included with the beginning consonant blends activities?

* Word list reference guides for each blend type as well as flashcards with images and text blends beneath each image

* Bingo games for each blend type with materials (spinners and game cards) for up to four players

* Picture cards for a blend matching activity that may be used with either clothespins or dry-erase markers (if laminated) 

*  Cut-and-paste practice pages

* Sorting activities and tree map organizers on which students can record results from the sorts.

* Differentiated reading passages that feature each blend type.

Once again, the reading passages are differentiated to meet the needs of readers at various stages of development. Short poetry samples are included for younger or more dependent readers, while longer reading passages are more suitable for intermediate readers. I also included drill word cards that correspond to each reading passage. This is intended to provide an opportunity for students to practice fluency with beginning blends within a reading context, thereby extending application slightly beyond isolated blend activities.
