Blending to Read With a PGCE Qualified Teacher

Is your child ready to take their phonics skills to the next level? My Blending to Read class is the perfect next step for kindergarten-aged children who already know their letter sounds and are eager to start reading simple words! In this exciting, hands-on class, your child will learn how to blend sounds together to form words, building the essential skills they need to read independently and with confidence.

What to Expect:
* Blending Sounds into Words: Children will practice blending individual letter sounds together to form words, a key skill in becoming a fluent reader. They’ll start by blending simple consonant-vowel-consonant (CVC) words like “cat,” “dog,” and “sip,” and gradually move to more complex words.
* Interactive Activities: Through fun, interactive games and exercises, kids will practice blending sounds in engaging ways. We’ll use flashcards, word-building activities, and playful phonics challenges to reinforce their blending skills.
* Word Families & Rhyming: Children will explore word families (such as “-at,” “-it,” “-op”) to help them recognise patterns in words, which makes reading and spelling easier and more fun. Rhyming activities will also help strengthen their phonemic awareness.
* Reading Simple Words: As children master the blending of sounds, they will begin reading simple words and short sentences, boosting their reading confidence and comprehension.
* Fun with Phonics: This class is designed to be interactive and enjoyable, using songs, stories, and activities that reinforce the blending skills needed to become a confident reader.

Why Blending to Read is Essential: Blending is a crucial skill that helps children unlock the world of reading. This class will give your child the tools they need to decode words quickly and easily, making them feel more confident and independent when reading books. By mastering blending, children will move from sounding out words to recognising and reading them with fluency.

If your child already knows their letter sounds and is ready to take the next step in reading, this Blending to Read class is the perfect fit! With fun activities, hands-on learning, and plenty of practice, your child will be on their way to becoming a confident, independent reader in no time.
