About this resource

Try br, fr, gr, pr, and tr with each printed ending to hear which combinations form words. Some endings accept more than one blend, so pupils can test alternatives before writing. Read the completed words aloud to compare how changing the onset changes the word.

Curriculum reference — England: Early regular-word decoding supports the selected phonics connection; preserve flexible answers. Selected skills only; reference stage is not an overall reading age, complete curriculum coverage, or an automatic recommendation for every learner.
