Consonant Blends Year 1 Unit

Build confident blend readers with a complete Year 1 teaching sequence that moves from hearing both consonant sounds to reading, sorting, building and spelling blend words.

The presentation explicitly teaches L-blends, R-blends, S-blends and common final blends through modelled examples, guided practice and checks for understanding. Students then consolidate the skill through picture-supported word work, completion tasks, matching, sorting, games and independent assessment. The included answer pages and rubric support efficient marking and evidence collection.
