Teaching blends in first grade can be a tiresome task…you teach and they get it and sometimes they don’t. So you re-teach blends. Some get it, some don’t. Repeat.
It can be frustrating to gain the automaticity that we all want in our early readers with regard to blends! I updated a pack of mine a while back to take some of the monotony out of the blend teaching cycle. They are: Blend Friends Flip Books and Blend Mats!

I would love to use this with my resource students across grade levels nkw and through the year!
Ohh blends are hard! I was so impressed on Friday when one of my students (I teach special education) asked me how to write a word in an Elkonian box if it contained a blend! This would be such an asset for my students!
We are just starting these blends after the break. My sweet Firsties will love them! joMitchell2020@gmail.com
This is a great idea, I really like the idea of the blending mats!
I definitely have a few who are right at this place, and more than a few that aren't there yet but I suspect will need a LOT of repeat, repeat, repeat! This would be wonderful. mikkic@telus.net
This looks like a fun way to teach blends! I have several students who are really struggling with this skill. lraines78@gmail.com

I love this! It would help my kiddos so much! Great supplement to our phonics workbook 🙂
These would work well with my low 2nd grade group and even as a review at the beginning of the year.
I need this! My students could really benefit from some remediation with blends!
We are working on these right now! Boy do my children need help with blends! We are in dire need of these…….
