Blends and Digraphs- Activities and Ideas
Take a Pick!
- Select a blend or digraph and help your child to come up with words (“cr says /crr/. Can you think of any words that begin with ‘cr’?” Make sure to continually stress the blend/digraph.
Final Blends/Digraphs
- Together, come up with words that end with a given blend/digraph (eg. fish, best, jump, second).
Blends/Digraphs Song
- Together with your child, come up with a short singable song line for each letter (‘br’ says /brr/, /brr/, /brr/, /brr/. The Broom is Broken. /brr/, /brr/, /brr/). Practise the rhymes. Hint: Make these into flash cards so your child can practise independently!
