Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Hear the difference between initial sm and sn

  • Associate a pictured word with its beginning blend

  • Write the chosen onset using lowercase letters

Teaching tips

  • Stretch the first sounds of each picture name so both consonants remain audible.

  • Ask learners to sort the picture names orally into sm and sn groups before they write.

Skills covered

  • Consonant-blend discrimination — two related onsets are compared directly.

  • Picture naming — visual prompts supply words for sound analysis.

  • Letter formation — selected blends are printed on short response lines.
