Blending and Segmenting — Year 2

Teach students to hear, join, separate and change phonemes through a coherent week of Year 2 English instruction. This complete unit begins with clear phoneme–grapheme review, then develops smooth blending, accurate segmenting, consonant blends, vowel teams, phoneme deletion, phoneme substitution, word chains and compound-word strategies.

The 18-slide editable presentation models each strategy with worked examples. The 22-slide editable quiz provides 10 questions with immediate answer and feedback slides. Two substantial colour games—Real Word Lab and Word Wizard Builder—support repeated oral rehearsal and word building. Nine low-ink worksheet titles provide structured individual practice, and the two-page Sound Engineer Challenge plus analytic rubric support end-of-unit assessment.

Displays, activities and games are supplied in colour. Worksheets, assessment pages and the rubric use a practical black-and-white print system. Ten matching answer pages duplicate the relevant student pages and show answers in red.
