Phonic words are introduced and then met again in subsequent readers, to help develop confidence and fluency. Each book tells a little story with words and pictures- no stilted phonics here!

This entertaining SW Find and Color worksheet for initial blends can help prepare children for more advanced blending work involving four phonemes, is a great way to introduce children orally to initial consonant blends and help them develop the necessary phonemic awareness. The pack contains one sheet for the SW initial blend. It is part of a pack of 20 such worksheets that can be purchased for a small price here to save you the time and effort of downloading 20 individual worksheets. On each worksheet, students have to blend the two letters and then search for objects that begin with that blended consonant. After then, only these objects should be colored; the others should remain uncolored. Once they are given instructions, children can readily work on the sheets without assistance; nevertheless, for the most benefit, it is strongly advised that an adult work with special needs children. It is necessary to introduce the idea of early blends in detail. Upon working with kids, particularly those who have special needs, my first preference is to teach them how to blend two consonant letters. Next, I focus on enhancing the childrens’ phonemic awareness, which is the capacity to distinguish each blend of consonants at the beginning of a word. Some students find this challenging, and it requires a lot of practice. The purpose of these worksheets is to help students hear the blend at the beginning of a word by first encouraging them to blend the two consonant letters. Encourage the kids to blend the letters in each initial blend by practicing as often as you can. Modeling, in my opinion, is essential.
