Spotlight on Blends - Book 2
Gillian Aitken
Book 2 - End Consonant Blends
Phonic activities on end consonant blends to improve spelling skills, reading accuracy and phonological awareness.
Spotlight on Blends Book 2 follows on from Book 1 of the series, with the focus this time on the end of words.
The tasks in the two Spotlight on Blends books are varied. However, the main emphasis is on developing phonological awareness by means of sound blending, rhyming and careful contrasting of blends which are similar in sound. Research shows that training in such skills leads to improved reading accuracy and spelling.
Often the tasks are embedded in a meaningful linguistic context, and the various sentence-completion exercises, vocabulary quizzes and anagram puzzles aim to extend vocabulary and enhance comprehension and thinking skills. The worksheets thus have a wide application in terms of developing language skills and are designed to cater for different levels of skill and individual need.
All the worksheets have a clear, uncluttered visual layout which will enable many students to work independently. However, detailed teaching notes and guidelines accompany the worksheets to enable the teacher to guide the pupil when necessary.
Although the worksheets are straightforward enough to enable many pupils to work independently, the worksheets are accompanied by teaching notes and guidelines. These enable the teacher to guide the pupil where necessary.
