Onset and Rime — Foundation Unit

Teach Foundation students how to split and blend simple CVC words with a complete, classroom-ready onset-and-rime unit.

The editable lesson presentation introduces each concept with clear models such as c + at = cat. Students then practise through colour displays, a reusable word-building activity, two games, sequenced worksheets, an editable PowerPoint quiz and a two-page assessment. Matching answer pages make marking quick, while the teacher rubric supports consistent feedback.
