This unit is a must have for all Year 3 classrooms! As we know, teaching students how to identify and manipulate sounds in words (phonemic awareness) helps improve their reading and writing skills. This unit has been created to provide teachers with plenty of resources to use with students, to target the strategies of blending and segmenting. Included in the pack is a presentation, posters, games, activities, worksheets and more!
