The "Blend Onset and Rime - Short /ă/ CVC Worksheet Lesson Set" is a valuable resource that offers three distinct opportunities for students to enhance their phonics and reading foundation skills. These three worksheets cater to different aspects of learning: the first for guided practice, the second for independent or peer-grouped practice, and the third for homework, intervention, or additional practice.
In this set, students will be provided with CVC words like "c-at" and tasked with blending the individual sounds together. They will then identify and circle the word they have formed from a set of two pictures representing that word. The set primarily focuses on short /ă/ words, including words ending in "-at," "-ad," "-ap," "-ag," "-am," and "-an."
Learning Objective for Students: By the end of this lesson, students will be able to blend short A CVC words and identify the corresponding pictures, strengthening their phonics and reading foundation skills.
