Stealthy Blending

Worksheet Description

In this unique “DR Blends” worksheet, students will embark on a stealthy phonics mission to enhance their sound recognition and spelling skills. The worksheet presents a series of pictures, and students are instructed to say the name of each picture quietly to themselves. They must then write the consonant blend they hear at the beginning of each word, followed by writing the entire word.

This exercise encourages students to engage in silent phonemic analysis, honing their ability to listen closely to the initial sounds of words. By emphasizing the DR blend, students gain a deeper understanding of phonics and how words are constructed. The act of writing the entire word reinforces both the blend and word recognition, enhancing spelling skills as well.

This worksheet offers an intriguing and multisensory approach to mastering DR blends while fostering students’ phonemic awareness and spelling proficiency. It’s an engaging and stealthy way for students to develop their language skills.
