Language One: Initial Consonant Blends

Learning Outcomes

- recognize and use initial consonant blends

Activity:

FILE FOLDER GAMES:
Design file folder games by pasting pictures on the outer edge of a file folder.  
By each picture make 3 holes, placing a consonant blend by each hole.  These 
can be made self correcting by circling the correct hole on the other side of 
the folder.  The student will make his selsction by poking a pencil through the 
hole by the blend he thinks is the correct one.  This can be a great partner 
game as well.                                   

WORKSHEETS:
Design worksheets in which a picture is presented and the word is beneath 
the picture with the missing blend represented by blanks.  Students must 
choose the blend from several given.  For a more challenging task the student 
must insert the blend without any choices supplied.

Ann becomes Drann and Amy becomes Dramy (for DR ) but will be Frann and 
Framy(for FR) and Spann and Spamy (for SP) etc.  The opening sentence could 
be:  If  __________'s name began with________ it would be__________________.
