If you are looking for a multi-purpose blending and segmenting resource then look no further. Students can practise blending sounds by tapping the dots before sliding their finger along to read the whole word. Print the matching pictures on the back to allow students to self-check their reading. This resource is part of our Blending Blitz unit.
Alternatively use the picture cards when students are practising segmenting sounds along with our Super Segmenting Mats resource.
