About this resource

Introduce or review words that begin with the BL blend with these beginning blends posters. These initial blends posters are perfect for Foundation and Year 1 classrooms to use as display or as a teaching tool.

What is Included:

In this set, there are two posters that show BL words. One poster is in colour, and the other one is in black and white. Each poster features a clear, bold image that represents each BL word.

The easy to recognise images will allow students to be successful while they are working on activities that use words with the BL beginning blend. The colourful images will help students stay engaged with the posters when practising reading and writing beginning blend words.

How to Use:

  • These beginning blend posters can be used as a reference poster in a writing or literacy centre for students to refer to when writing stories or sentences.

  • These beginning blend posters can be used as a teaching tool to introduce or to review beginning blends with the whole class.

  • These beginning blend posters can be given to students to store in a writing journal so they can easily reference the words while at their desk.

  • The black and white poster can be used as a colouring page for students to work on as an early finisher activity or just for fun.

Skills Assessed:

These beginning blends posters allow students to practise reading and recognising words that contain the BL initial blend.

These beginning blend posters are a no-prep option for teachers to use with students. They just need to be printed out and placed in their desired location. The poster can be laminated for durability, especially if the teacher plans to hang the poster on the wall or intends for the poster to be handled by students.
