Phonics based, whole group/small group intervention, Science of Reading (SOR) strategy that targets your ENTIRE CLASS, and best of all...doesn't leave struggling readers behind!! 5 differentiated, successive blending board versions that are perfect for differentiating instruction during small group time, or to reduce supports as your students become more confident in their ability to blend. These slides are a great scaffold if you have students in your class who are struggling to blend words fluently, and can't seem to get beyond the stage of "chopping" each individual sound before blending.

Included in this listing - 300+ CVC practice words!!!!

• (5) DIFFERENTIATED blending board versions
• 300+ CVC words
• 10 Lessons containing mixed vowels /a/ /e/ /i/ /o/ /u/
• 5 Lessons concentrating on single vowel sounds
• Short Vowel Sound Review -- Great practice at the beginning of every lesson!

Even struggling readers WANT to use these slides and willingly participate when they are used during group time!!

• Successive blending boards are a great universal tool for students who struggle to decode due to deficits in working memory (the ability to store and manipulation information). Because the last letter in the word is hidden until the next slide (in Level 4-5 only), and it is expected that all students hold the first two sounds before moving to the next slide, all students blend and decode the words simultaneously! That means your struggling readers are not left behind to simply repeat the words they hear fluent readers decoding!
• Simple, cognitive BRAIN BREAKS make these slides fun for kids! After every 4-5 words the students read, there is a surprise slide featuring a photo of cute animal....Just enough fun to provide a quick cognitive break for your active learners, but not enough of a distraction to derail your lesson!
• If you want to differentiate instruction for small groups, you can easily change between Level 5 to Level 1 to reduce support.
